Pros

Very stable job, talented and creative colleagues, good benefits and perks.

Cons

Some bureaucracy, naturally, with an organization this size, especially in the government. How much may depend a great deal on your management. Heavy process driven and slow to adapt to new ways of doing things in some areas.
