Pros

Competitive salary and benefits package. Opportunity to work on large-scale, high-impact projects. Exposure to highly talented professionals across disciplines. Professional development stipends are available and encouraged.

Cons

Most internal processes are designed with an engineering mindset, which can make it difficult for communications professionals to thrive or feel understood. The work is tied to government contracts, which often means rigid structures, slow-moving approvals, and pretty limited creative freedom. Promotions and advancement can be heavily influenced by office politics.
