Pros

There is good work life balance, you can work from home, have a day off you work extra hours, and generally not have to work more than the 40hrs per week. Benefits especially healthcare seem to be a lot better than the industry which makes sense since they don’t offer competitive pay.

Cons

Depending on your manager your work life can be a breeze or awful. Unfortunately there are less good managers.

Pros

Great benefits. Work can be meaningful.

Cons

Management is the old guard. Primarily former SEC staffers looking to cash in after a career in government. Management that has been there a long time have their favorite people and the organization is very bureaucratic.
