Pros

Good to see how taxpayer money is spent

Cons

They don't place people in positions where they are most suited. They underpay you. Overtime pay is not always guaranteed (it depends on project funding and deadlines) So many talented employees have jumped ship due to poor management practices. Little oversight on interns Poor performance review process Poor network management Require separate network for development Too many managers No performance based raises even if they call a performance review. Incompetent leaders Poor talent retention Only here because I have to pay my mortgage and Covid.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
