Pros

Its a fun project and you are allowed to work independently. People are smart and I enjoy working with them.

Cons

Having to deal with government bureaucracy to get things done really slows things down at times. Not being allowed to have admin access on mac laptops with slow IT support.

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
