Pros

Get to work on an interesting product. Work life balance is usually very good. Work stress is generally not very high. Job security is probably one of the best you'll find.

Cons

Compensation has historically lagged behind peers - especially for the cost of residency in the location, and benefits are average. Upper management has a noticeable disconnect with reality. Promotion system is primarily based on how long you've been here vs performance which results in a fair few upper level contributors not pulling their weight. Management philosophy and procedures are woefully outdated. Parking can be horrendous

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
