Pros

* Great Work-Life Balance * Handled COVID wonderfully * Fulfilling Company Mission * The org overall genuinely tries their best to improve * Great retirement benefits

Cons

* It's a giant organization and it has the stiff culture that accompanies such an environment. Not much they can do about that, just not my style. * It seems that lots of people are lifers. There's not much room for advancement in such a situation. * Lots of the work is just maintaining bureaucracy. It's important work, that furthers an important mission, but it's not hard to imagine yourself as another cog. That's maybe the worst I can say about the place. It's just work. Sure, it's bland, but it's not evil. It's not grueling. It's dull maintenance.
