Pros
Really smart coworkers, really interesting work, and really important work. Also pays well for the area, including graduate education reimbursement. Most coworkers have a cynically optimistic view of the bureaucracy, which is refreshing.
Cons
Cubicles, limited career advancement opportunities (besides the grad education track), and Dilbert is no longer a hilarious cartoon for me because it's way too real. The bureaucracy, if not dealt with humorously, can be depressing.
