IT Support Engineer Band 8
Pros: Nice coworkers, not all that technically capable.  Limited by their training and separation of duties on the Div16
Cons: DIV16 - Government division is full of don't rock-the-boaters and show up and collect a paycheck people.  If you are hired into DIV16 you can not leave that division, you may be loaned out to the commercial side, but will not truly ever be able to leave without quitting and applying from the outside.  IBM Boomerangers (leave to come back) are high because of this and similar policies.  Company culture of redefining yourself is not adhered to by complacent and lazy managers.

Benefits for a family are EXPENSIVE and not particularly good.  If your single they seem to be mediocre.
