Business outlook
Pros
Interesting work, real people do get help, sense of accomplishment, most places are decent regarding employees balancing work and home life, benefits aren't that bad. You do get a lot of responsibilty and often handle large cost projects. It opens the door for other federal work, and management seems interested in finding new blood.
Cons
Federal payscales, timid management, insular culture, some managers who need to be reminded slavery was abolished. Focus on new blood often means old timers can forget advancement. Often no time or budget to do things right, but we somehow find both in order to do it over.
