Pros

Stable, long term employment, good pay if you understand the system and play political ball. Very large company, lots of jobs across a broad spectrum.

Cons

Bureaucratic, limited upside, unlimited downside. 3% more efficient than a govt agency. Largely not interested in financial efficiency. New ideas are hard to get implemented. Mavericks should apply to companies that cultivate the need for new ideas and approaches.
