Pros

Great Pay, great benefits, good WLB, smart people, very few a** holes, free food.

Cons

There is little incentive to put in extra effort since most of your projects will eventually be defunded/deprioritized. If you get too emotionally invested in whatever you are working on, it will just be that much more painful to watch it eventually end up in the vast graveyard of projects that leadership lost interest in. Getting promoted is ridiculously hard and will likely take years.
