Pros

You learn a lot about what division you're in. I was in the Marine Division and I learned a lot about buoys, depth contours, marine charts, etc. The benefits are great and the supervisors are nice and always help you out if you have questions.

Cons

There are absolutely no career advancement opportunities in the Cartography department. The pay is terrible compared to the average and you spent 90% of the time checking other people's work and QAing the charts instead of actually making maps and performing analysis.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
