Pros

- Exciting and meaningful work creating positive impact for communities - Agency is very highly regarded in state government and is given a lot of opportunities to shape policy and have an impact beyond its direct scope of work - Great colleagues from a diversity of backgrounds. Relatively young workforce with many people from private sector (not life long government workers) - More private than public sector mentality, culture of excellence and continuous improvement - Competitive pay; may be a little lower than what you could get in the private sector for some positions, but well paid for government - Job stability and good benefits - Excellent working conditions: modern offices, in-house IT department (does not use VITA), access to training and resources

Cons

- Work/life balance can become unmanageable if you don't know how to stick up for yourself and draw lines in the sand - Change for the sake of change has undermined the effectiveness of the organization - High exposure to the changing winds of politics - Org culture can use some work
