Business Outlook
Pros
Less pressure and deadlines as compared to private companies. More stability. Work goes through layers of processes and well tested before goes to production. If the budget is appropriated, your job is secured. Security clearance is required that causes somewhat less competition in the hiring process.
Cons
Mangement is senseless wasteful. Government employees do nothing.... Work is for consultants not govies. Security issues are very harsh... such as getting a ticket or something is not ignored. More time is wasted in getting access or security issues than actual work. If you know the right people you can stay there forever else you are as disposable as garbage. The level of technology they use is minimal or obsolete.
