Pros

The team I worked with was great. They were brilliant researchers who cared deeply about the impact of their work. The pay and benefits are competitive for research positions at academic institutions. The work-life balance is much better than many organizations.

Cons

Publishing in open venues can be difficult due to the nature of the work. GTRI is a mix of academic and industry, it can be hard to tell where you fit. Field office employees definitely have to advocate for themselves more to avoid being overlooked. Experiences may vary by laboratory.

Pros

Great team at the Smyrna Office, Specifically ATAS. You have ownership over the process and create the protocols and procedures which felt very empowering. The work environment healthy and you can have a balance in life. The company also is very engineer biased which is fine but that ruins team cohesion at times. Also lord forbid you be a new hire and a project is cancelled well buddy no job for you!!

Cons

The job is not stable as it is dependent on contracts and their extensions, this is the reason why I was unable to go full time. Also due to past negligence a lot of the job is fixing other peoples problems. Also your work day can either be slow or very fast. Also at times it felt you were punished for completing work timely as priorities would change.
