      Pros

      Benefits are awesome. Other than the usual perks of following the government (paid holidays, paid inclement weather days off, etc). since it's an FFRDC we can get new equipment to upgrade frequently.

      Cons

      in the Enterprise Operation division there's a lot of micro managing and the manager in addition to the Division Director may not have insight on all aspects of what the team does, which causes the micromanaging. not a single raise was given...

      Pros

      Very smart people across a range of STEM disciplines Freedom on what you get to work on Relative lack of office politics Interesting exciting projects available

      Cons

      Hard to think of a con. Every place has its own flavour and IDA CCS Bowie like anywhere else, isn't for anyone. I'm not positive either way about IDA's budget/hiring situation these days, with all the stuff going on in this general space. It also can be easy to find yourself getting lost when it comes to finding a good project if you are not careful. But even that is a bit of a reach.
