As much opportunity as you are willing and able to take. Fun smart people abound.

Highly politicized environment in every sense of the word. Poor pay. Bureaucratic (obviously).

Pros

The ability to ensure that laws are followed by transportation and utility companies, but without having to become a police officer.

Cons

The recent RTO mandate that makes it impossible to have a work-life balance; high workload requiring complicated analytical skills that are not rewarded by management; other staff can coast and get the same salary as you. The organizational structure is inherently anti-employee and pro-manager to the point that coworkers who are leads are deputized against their fellow rank-and-file coworkers.
