Pros

Fantastic colleagues, excellent organizational mission, amazing benefits (esp. health).

Cons

Morale is currently (2026) low because of ongoing fiscal crisis and job cuts. Organization is highly bureaucratic, left hand often doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Woke politics can get out of hand.
