Pros

There's good work/life balance and generally a supportive environment. The work can be interesting if you get the right projects.

Cons

The frequent administration changes greatly affects the morale of the workforce. Promotions are hard to come by and often go to unqualified employees. There are also a lot of employees who don't do much all day and still get paid highly.

Pros

Nice campus and office spaces

Cons

The absolute most toxic atmosphere I have ever experienced. Have on-going panic attacks four years later due to the hostility. I couldn't go to HR because I was in HR.
