All of my colleagues are the best I have ever worked with in their fields; from architects to engineers to urban planners and much more, we work as a collaborative team, no competition.
Supervisors do not micromanage and strive to value everyone's strengths and individuality.
Pay is decent. Holidays and vacation days are very fair.
Cons
Too many meetings - even though that has improved in the last few years
Overloaded with work nearing end of year
No annual bonus - but that is typical when working in government
