Pros

People are very smart and fun to work with. There are interesting projects to work on. Civil servants receive vacation time and sick leave. The sick leave days don't expire. There's a decent fitness center open for several hours five days a week.

Cons

There is still a lack of diversity in the engineering and science organizations which isn't unusual for the Silicon Valley Area. It's not easy to transfer to different organizations to work on different projects or to experience some career broadening.
