Pros

Stable, great benefits, great work-life balance, sometimes interesting and unique work depending on your team.

Cons

Standard government job issues: about 15% less compensation than private industry after factoring in benefits but that's made up for by stability and work-life balance. Promotion is based on time employed and tech is out of date, be careful not to let your skills stagnate. Your ability to do your job is at the mercy of Congress.
