Pros

Decent pay, Stability, Interesting work, good benefits. Broad range of work opportunities and locations. Human resource functions are fairly easy to use. Gnerally understanding of work life/balance. Pension ( for how long, who knows!)

Cons

Too big, too structured, one size fits all mentality, Lack of opportunities to advance from within. Too imbued with military culture, to inflexible. Too much time wasted on corporate babble that does not make me better or more efficient at my job. No ability among lower level employees to innovate. Too dependant upon government work.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
