      Pros

      Technical challenging, interesting work. Ability to switch between different fields makes a long-term technical career possible.

      Cons

      This is an old bureaucracy, very overblown; rules are sometimes outdated, sometimes not making sense at all. Patience is definitely needed.

      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
