Pros
High profile, work for the greater good of the people. The public benefits from hard work and research done at the company.
Cons
No room for real growth. Most employees are stagnant and technical training is not a priority. Company does not keep up with current technology trends and expects employees to work in a "Production Line" mode, even though the work does not lend itself to that type of operation (Senior MGT does not understand (or maybe they do and just dont care?) this because they have never done the work themselves). Company has become too political in recent years and this makes it difficult or impossible to speak your mind (it is discouraged by intimidation). Many managers only seem to care about themselves and not their direct reports.
