I think it may be that they tend to be under less pressure than private companies to generate revenues to stay in business. It's more slow paced in government sector, and sometimes it gets tearfully boring, but that may just be my experience.

They don't need to make a profit.

They have so many hurdles to jump through that it is difficult to fire someone. That's the big difference.
Also, they run on taxes, and taxes tend to go in one direction only...up!
It can be mind-numbingly boring.
Really, if you want to make a difference in the world, government is not for you. It is for you if you can't think of anything else to do with your life.
