Pros

The people are great. The work life balance is good.

Cons

In house work is pretty much gone. You will not grow much anymore as an engineer just doing reviews. Everyone is leaving.

Pros

Work life balance Positive culture Caring management Benefits Flexible work schedule

Cons

In general, the only con for me is working in government buildings as they can be rather plain and depressing. But that is the government for you!

Pros

Won’t fire anyone, know how much you’re going to make.

Cons

Bad raises. Job growth is very uncommon. Management is incompetent from top to bottom. Not enough people and too much work. Nepotism is rampant in this organization. Unqualified people are promoted. Career bad apples are left without being fired or disciplined. First level managers are useless. They at too much red tape to do the most basic things. Upper levels are arrogant and hard headed.hiring has been frozen for a year yet somehow the ‘bud club’ is promoting people constantly who are in their ‘inner circle’. Hiring actions are super sketchy, names are dropped for specific people to be hired etc. It’s crazy
