      Pros

      Cons

      The food is rather expensive and the entire place is so big that it gets rather confusing at times to navigate.

      It's still working for the Government even though my paychecks don't say DOE.

      Pros

      Great Benefits, and work place policies are enforced. Many jobs available in different fields.

      Cons

      Government mentality. Cost savings rarely a consideration when doing things. Attitude of "That's the way we've always done it." is present everywhere and sometimes a detriment to what you are trying to accomplish. No one will ever admit wrong, or mistakes in judgement, even if it means living with less than desireable consequences. Technically a government contractor that is subject to government stipulations as well (ie payroll freeze)

      Pros

      Large campus with multidisciplinary exposure and caring scientific leadership to students and post doctoral fellows. Excellent benefits packages, especially retirement. Access to facilities and capabilities that may not be available elsewhere in the east coast.

      Cons

      The location is far from New York City and about 30 minutes drive from Stony Brook University, where most of the students and collaborations are available.
