Classic Government - Computer Scientist Naval Sea Systems Command Employee Review

Pros

Stable, lots of vacation time, low stress. Think of it like that philosophy class you once took in college because you wanted an easy A. Retirement and other benefits are aluable if you're willing to stay in for the long haul.

Cons

Government work is a world all it's own. Working on a military base is reminiscent of a high-school. For me this is a big time con, other love it. Tenure leads to working with a lot of emotionally immature and technically incompetent people. No impetus to improve or solve hard problems. Innovation is stifled by layers of bureaucracy. Pay is based on time-served, not value added.
