Pros

Interesting projects. Providing beneficial service to community. Good health benefits. Decent starting salary.

Cons

Morale is generally low. Upper management is full of themselves and lack contemporary people management skills and knowledge. Its a lot of office politics and power struggles. Don't expect any flexibility or willingness to changing practices. Pension gets worse and worse. Don't treat employees like professional adults. Review and salary adjustment process is a joke.

If you come in as entry level engineer the only way to move from entry level to higher level position is to wait the prescribed number of years, which is 2.5 years, even if you came in with experience
