Pros

If you want a very stable job this is a place for you. Very impressed with the level of diversity there. People are down to earth and not pretentious. Having impressive degrees from ivy league schools won't get you anywhere here. If you work hard and know how to present yourself well and align your goals with mission of the company you will do well.

Cons

They put you in a skill pool early on and determine what your maximum potential will be. Need to be savvy to move outside of those structures, but it is possible if you know the right people and can put in the effort. It runs like the government, so change is slow, and moving things along safely is biggest priority. If you are ambitious and interested in a fast paced environment this might not be for you.

Pros

Interesting work Low stress level Decent work life balance Good support for professional development activities Generally decent folks to work with

Cons

Way too bureaucratic Too much focus on form (Do your Power Points look a certain way?) over substance (How competent you are, What level of enthusiasm do you bring to your work, Do you possess a more compass, etc) Lots of discussion around career support and development, but did not translate well in day-to-day practice
