Pros

Job security, importance and impacts to the world & national stage, work/life balance, culture still wants to attract people for their entire careers

Cons

Pay is still lower than equivalent industry, but enough to be comfortable and is offset by job security. Still suffers from siloing staff, nebulous advancement tracks, and internal politics. Excessive management bloat over the past couple years.
