Pros

Competitive salary, low stress environment due to being mostly taxpayer funded. More innovative, cool and flexible than most government agencies.

Cons

Still suffers from big government syndromes: slow to make changes, budgetary uncertainty (congress CRs causing projects to go on hold), unmotivated "govie" staff
