Pros

Good leave benefits, TSP matching 100% up to 5%. Lots of holidays, laid back, pretty much unfireable once probationary period is passed. Interesting work too.

Cons

Being unfirable has cons, lots of burecratic policies, slow work pace, nepotism, pay is way below industry standards, most employees have 1 or 2 extra jobs to put food on the table, including those who are forced to relocate and live outside headquarters. Would not recommend to anyone.
