      Pros and cons

      Environmental engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable job. You can work 40 hours per week and go home. Looks good on the resume. It was good professional experience.

      Cons

      Lots of lazy people who won't get fired because it's a government job. Definitely some poor leaders. It was difficult/impossible to move around within the company.

      A bureaucracy

      Program analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/Life balance is generally pretty good, and management is *generally* good about allowing people to work from home if they want to. The people who work here are generally pretty earnest about their work and believe in the mission, and are usually pretty friendly. Work can be challenging, and there are plenty of opportunities to explore your own ideas.

      Cons

      Decisions often get made either with complete consensus from everyone, or behind other people's backs, with a lot of insider politics going on. Much ado is made on working together without any follow-through. The union is too powerful, often sticking up for poor performing employees, which decreases morale for everyone else. Annual performance agreements are mostly meaningless, and there is a lot of paperwork to get anything done.
