Pros

Amazingly well-qualified, dedicated, and hard-working co-workers who bring a lot of passion to their work It's an honor to plan for the future of our collective resources: water, transportation, parks and wildlife, events spaces Creating world-class experiences designed to last for generations Preserving the Big Nature we're so well known for in the PNW Collaborating with residents, non-profits, many levels of area governments to come up with the best, most inclusive solutions possible Incredible employee benefits

Cons

Overthinking everything Sometimes passion creates too much idealism and not enough get it done already Projects and processes must be done correctly while stewarding the public's money carefully, so time goes out the window Collaboration and inclusivity are hard! But worth it in the long run. Can be frustrating having to meet the ideal standards while forging new ways of doing things

Pros

Metro is a strong regional government, smart people, processes, and focus. In my case I had a great team lead, tons of support, and very collaborative team members.

Cons

Government isn't fast, there can be too many meetings, and depending on the role you are sometimes dealing with crisis (especially in communications).
