Pros

federal holidays (11), paid time off (2.5 weeks at first, then four weeks after 3 years, then five weeks after 15) give excellent work-life balance As an RE, the per diem reimbursement brings compensation to a highly competitive level

Cons

Management is highly interested in their own career advancement Large government organization has a lot of logistical inertia. Not much challenging engineering work, most design work is contracted out.
