Pros
If this is your first non-field job in development, then MCC is a great start. Because the organization is understaffed and in disarray, they're forced to give junior staff more responsibility. It's a govt job, so the pay and benefits are decent, and the building is nice, too. Travel can be a nice perq if that's part of your job.
Cons
If you're thinking about staying beyond 18 months, be prepared for disappointment. The organization is six years old, yet the leadership (civil servants and appointees) still haven't figured out the basics of how to run an organization. For example, we just did our annual performance plans *six months* after the performance period began. As you can see, they are completely meaningless. And be prepared for very little structure and direction. This is definitely a place where you have to be self-motivated or you will be totally lost. And be prepared to push a lot of paper!
