Good retirement contribution and good pto. General finance team is nice and fun until you get to upper management.
Cons
Everything else - horrible upper management, bad culture and inefficient processes.

Very smart people across a range of STEM disciplines
Freedom on what you get to work on
Relative lack of office politics
Interesting exciting projects available
Cons
Hard to think of a con. Every place has its own flavour and IDA CCS Bowie like anywhere else, isn't for anyone. I'm not positive either way about IDA's budget/hiring situation these days, with all the stuff going on in this general space. It also can be easy to find yourself getting lost when it comes to finding a good project if you are not careful. But even that is a bit of a reach.
