Pros

Benefit (non monetary) package, and community service culture is great. My direct manager is great, and hers above me would be great if he actually knew what his dept staff did.

Cons

Constant push for change but when change is suggested or implemented, it takes years to complete if it isn’t the type of change C-suite or legacy employees (20+ years there) like. Pushed to implement AI, but requests for a security review take 9-12 months with no updates, by then the request use case has been resolved or worked around. Starting pay is fantastic, but leave after a year because it will never get better, especially on the operational side of the business.
