Pros

Government work. Little to no oversight, no supervision to speak of ... keep your head down and mouth shut ... as long as you are billable, out of sight, you are out of your mind ... and theirs.

Cons

The supervision has no ethics. That would get in the way of making money off the government. If you work for them you work in a co-employment environment with the subcontractors and the government where doing anything may not be the right thing ... look behind the facade before working for them.
