Pros
Interesting work (many options of projects as long as the only senior manager gives you green light) Highly intelligent, thoughtful and honorable co-workers Since BHSAI is a contractor of DoD, your working schedules will follow the federal employees (site closes on snow days, work-from-home option, great retirement/med benefit through HJF. Good if you are freshly off school and desperately need a paycheck
Cons
you are not a federal employee. Your official email has a "contractor" attached to it salary is much lower compared to private sectors Literally there is only one person whose opinion matters. Poor leadership, quick to insult. High turnover rate due to poor management (at least one every two months). 90% of the science staff hold foreign visas which constraint them to limited employment options.
