Pros
You'll work with a lot of great people who are supportive, helpful, and extremely talented + good at what they do. If you go higher up the ladder however, relationships would be questionable. Yearly get togethers were always super fun.
Working with federal clients can be challenging and not always the most fun work for a designer but there were many opportunities for all sorts of digital and print projects. If there were areas you were interested in, it was really easy to hop onto a different project or request to be moved/support another lane of work. That flexibility doesn't exist in all work places in my experience.
Cons
The culture changed rapidly due to behaviors and decisions made by executive leadership and . It never felt safe to say how you truly felt especially if it was honest and even the slightest bit negative. Or even in smaller safe spaces with core teams it felt like your concerns were heard but thrown into a void never to be fully addressed.
