Pros

Interesting and exciting subject matter.

Cons

Old boy network, you will not be promoted or given opportunities for professional development unless you are "connected." No new talent brought in, just rearranging the deck chairs of the senior executive staff, so they may gain experience for opportunities higher on the org chart.

Pros

They tend to have managers who were engineers. And, "we're going to the freakin Moon!"

Cons

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
