Pros

Relaxed environment, not pressure to bring in funding, interesting projects. Salary is not bad, and you get some really good benefits. Plus, you have many vacation days and many holidays.

Cons

People are old, not very ambitious, there is a lot of bureaucracy because you work for the government, and you will never get rich here. You will not be pushed, which is a bad thing if you are young and ambitious.
