Pros

Excellent people to work with. Average pay.

Cons

Massive reorganization and loss of competency through early retirement, "voluntary" separation and good people finding greener pastures. What was once a crown jewel of research and independent, creative thought is now just a government contractor trying desperately to cut its costs to remain in business conducting run of the mill government work.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
