      Pros

      Competitive salaries, moving expense reimbursement, access to a variety of education/ training programs, and probably the best benefits out of any other place in the country.

      Cons

      Relocation to the Washington DC area is mandatory. VERY lengthy pre-employment and clearance process. The clearance must be obtained every 5 years.

      Pros

      Lots of really smart and passionate people. Some teams are really interesting to work for.

      Cons

      Most people are thrown into a random-ish team when they first join, which can sometimes be a poor fit. It's really hard to move around to different career services. Some teams are really slow and a lot of people are self-important and difficult to work with. If you get bad management, you'll hate it there.
