Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of interesting projects, really smart , capable coworkers, decent retirement plans for mid-career employees, lots of opportunities to learn new skills.
Cons
While base pay is reasonable, there is no possibility of large bonuses or equity, stock options or anything like that. It is a non-profit organization. Its assets are owned by the government. Your base pay is it. Your benefits are "meh" for a tech company. Your raises will generally be very small once you have reached a mid-level (typically 1-3%). If you get promoted, you will likely get a small, out of cycle, raise (e.g., 3-4%). If you are looking to get ahead quickly or make a lot of money, look elsewhere, like a start-up or small but growing tech company.
