Pros

Great manager, everyone strongly believes in the mission and work, good work-life balance, life-saving work happening, always willing to try new or different things to find a better process.

Cons

Work can progress slowly given the red tape that has to be cut to move forward; promotions to management level are few and far in between and often are delayed by months or even years thanks to the bureaucracy so the strongest employees tend to leave (and sometimes return) so they can get the promotion.

Pros

Great benefits and good hours

Cons

If you’re not a liberal or progressive you will be the kid with lice. During the Biden admin your skin color is the only thing that mattered not your skill.
