Pros

Flexible work schedule. Better salaries than universities and in some instances, corporate.

Cons

Some people are over paid and others work long hours and get no recognition for their work. In essence, the more technical your skills the worst you have it. So the scientific staff have it worst along with the scientific associates and research engineers. Note: safety engineers are NOT engineers.

Pros

Laid-back, many onsite facilities, many workshops, activities, and performances. People are friendly. Has onsite clinic and gas station.

Cons

Low pay. Nonsecure positions. Almost no bonus no matter how much your contributions are. Not good for active researchers. HRs are way too slow paced.
