Pros

The mission is always a pro, you are working towards a goal that you believe in (hopefully). Good pay, co workers and managers were great, lots of room for movement either to different departments to work on very different areas of projects or upwards to management roles

Cons

different departments seem to not work super well together, almost feels they are always competing with each other for a slice of the pie expect long hours, 100% in office, not being able to talk about work to friends and/or family

Pros

Lots of really smart and passionate people. Some teams are really interesting to work for.

Cons

Most people are thrown into a random-ish team when they first join, which can sometimes be a poor fit. It's really hard to move around to different career services. Some teams are really slow and a lot of people are self-important and difficult to work with. If you get bad management, you'll hate it there.
