Pros

The experience and exposure are enticing for anyone coming out of school or looking to begin their career. Room for growth, different pathways that you can later look into if you're interested.

There's a good work/life balance (in my experience).

Cons

It feels that at the federal level, it's difficult to find good management on projects. If you're lucky enough to be on a project where your PM is involved and is accurately doing their job, do your best to stay on it. More times than not, a project could be going well, but isn't because the leads, tech archs, or management do not have a firm grasp or do not have their devs'/testers' backs.

Advice to Management

Do better at recognizing that projects can only go well if the people managing those projects do well.

Also, people within the same capability at the same career level are unequally utilized but paid similarly. Some work way harder but aren't recognized for the work they do, as opposed to another individual who has a bulk of "idle" time (AKA doesn't do anything).
