Pros: The campus is really cool.

Cons: Requires employees to work in person.

Pros: Lots of opportunities to tackle tough challenges and work with smart people. Very competitive pay.

Cons: Dealing with government regulation isn't always fun.

Pros: Salary is ok, and cost of living is low.

Cons: Mindless and tedious work. The tech stack is a nightmare to work with, and the biggest issue is that management just refuses to listen to the employees. PTO is horrendous: only about half of federal holidays are off, and there are no seasonal days off. For example, you're still expected to work a half day on Christmas Eve and the day after Thanksgiving. Management continues to refuse to provide any work-from-home options, despite a huge part of the company pleading for it. They treat their employees like cattle, and it is starting to show. All experienced devs are going elsewhere, and the result will be a young and inexperienced group of devs who know nothing about their antiquated and garbage software.
