      Pros

      Get to work with amazing new minds on fantastic new projects. Some of the most satisfying work than anything I could think of.

      Cons

      The contractor-civil servant relationship is really unattractive; as a civil servant I was often looked down upon as "lazy." Lots of organizational constraints.

      Incredible WLB, impactful work, sense of pride when talking about what you do.

      Have to work with legacy codebases often (like Fortran).

      Pros

      They tend to have managers who were engineers. And, "we're going to the freakin Moon!"

      Cons

      Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
