Pros

opportunity to work on transportation projects that impact lives of millions of public, pay parity between men and women engineers, opportunity to work on projects that don't get terminated because of poor quarter financial performance

Cons

Most engineers are civil engineers in Caltrans. As an electrical engineer sometimes you don't get involved in product life cycle as well as civil engineers do.
