Pros

I've made a lot of really good friends here and honestly enjoy every day at work. Depending on your program you can have a really great work/life balance. Down side is you may very well be on a program with terrible balance and mandatory over time. It's a government contractor. You're not going to run out of work any time soon.

Cons

It's so hard to get noticed and/or promoted. There are unofficial-official rules about how long you need to stay at a particular level before you're promoted. It's more based on seniority than skill.

Pros

The pay and benefits are good, even though they're continually being cut back as companies race to the bottom. That's the only reason I stayed for so long, even though for years I dreaded getting out of bed on weekday mornings.

Cons

The environment encourages managers to devote themselves to political turf battles, in which employees are mere pawns. No promotion from within, either; when an opening exists they always bring in someone from outside who knows nothing.
