Pros

Can be a wonderful place to work, it depends on supervisors, co-worker and whether a re-organization is going on. During my time there I l saw everything from great to horrible. It's a huge organization and your experience really will depend on what location, under whom you work and the current financial environment. Great package while you're there.

Cons

Can be a stressful and not so great place depending on supervisors and not the least whether a re-organization is ongoing. As in many places, re-organizations and cuts don't always target the right places/positions.
