Pros

High salary at director level.. high profile projects (borders, terrorism, police cooperation, transport) .. high profile clients..opportunities for giving guidance and transmitting knowledge to juniors staff.. large teams..training .. variety of tools for monitoring and pushing staff.. under my guidance staff delivered highly successful projects and won key jobs\ framework contracts

Cons

High pressure on senior staff and lack of recognition for hard work..wrong choices to assign teams bring failure..teams assigned to incompetent leaders which lost credibility and inevitably will lose clients.. non professional environment resistant to changes.. I have reached my breaking point after 10 years or should I say bearing point .. .. good luck

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
