Pros

Access to materials and supplies was good, and I was given access to information to people at my level or below.

Cons

They have a very clear and immobile chain of command. I was literally told, "you're not allowed to speak to X directly." They were also not open to ideas that were different than the manner in which they are used to working. Also more concerned with physical presence than productivity. This was challenging for me as I had been used to working in startup culture.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
