      Pros

      Great, unusual training programs, lots of travel opps

      Cons

      Impossible, stalwart bureaucracy, no opps for promotion. Be prepared to live your life under their control. That’s the main goal of the organization- control. You will sacrifice much freedoms and privacy to serve there. Rewards are few and far between. Company is still filled with Obama era flunked - very much the swamp there. Work is very politicized.

      Pros

      Great travel opportunities, and unique opportunities to do things you wouldn't get to anywhere else.

      Long hours, and invasive security screening process.

      Pros

      Lots of really smart and passionate people. Some teams are really interesting to work for.

      Cons

      Most people are thrown into a random-ish team when they first join, which can sometimes be a poor fit. It's really hard to move around to different career services. Some teams are really slow and a lot of people are self-important and difficult to work with. If you get bad management, you'll hate it there.
