Pros
I was given free reign on a new project and allowed to prove myself rather than "brought along slowly." I had frequent meetings with my supervisor where I was allowed to pitch my ideas and not forgotten about as can sometimes happen with new hires in government postings. I felt like I was able to make an impact early on and that my research and my opinions were valued as highly as that of more seasoned employees.
Cons
It was difficult to deal with the layers of bureaucracy. Getting things done quickly was not their forte. Transportation was difficult for my location, but that was not anything that they could have done much to remedy.
