Pros

The office location is convenient. Flexible hours. Most of the employees are good. The salary is fair.

Cons

Too top heavy with many overlaps. Delegate and deflect seems to be the name of the game when it comes to responsibilities. Pretending like you know what you are doing gets you further than actually doing good work.

Pros

Good pay, good people, good location, lots of focus on safety (almost to the point of being annoying)

Cons

Easy to fall into a routine depending on your job, not particularly exciting work, interfacing with the civil/government side of things can be annoying, but is necessary
