Business Outlook
Pros
Pros are common to federal employment - good benefits, flex-time, work/life balance. Depending on the group, you may be exposed to decent/new tech stacks, but most work is done on legacy systems that won't enhance your skills.
Cons
Most of the systems are legacy and on ancient tech stacks. A lot of work is simply maintaining existing processes. Very risk adverse and not a lot of opportunity to try new things. The is also a significant talent gap - too much internal promotion to individuals without the necessary skills.
