Pros

Flexible working opportunities. Decent benefits if you opt for the most expensive. No raises in the past 4 years. Personal growth and training is there in theory but not practice. Lots of new project acquisition.

Cons

Health Benefits decreased, No vision from upper level management, no training, verbal bullying in office (esp. meetings) condoned and borderline encouraged. Personal growth not emphasized whatsoever. Awful work-life balance. They rely on government contracts to keep funding.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
