Pros

Good, open minded culture. Good benefits. Good work/life balance - can work from home occasionally. Good people to work with. Many opportunities to learn new science.

Cons

Slow career progression. Promotions are not based on performance, but on tenure. Very small raises despite high performance ratings. Low pay overall. As with anywhere, recognition depends on the project you work on. Company not the most successful currently.

Pros

if you do your job well, no one will hound you or micro manage. it is a very solo job and can get repetitive. fun departmental and site wide activities planned.

Cons

cannot participate in all activities because contractors cannot be treated or "rewarded" or included as employees. Very hard to get hired on.
