Pros

- Research facility so deadlines are quite lax - Exciting Research - Benefits are not bad

Cons

- Will need to live in the middle of nowhere - Pay will be less than industry - As a contractor researcher, you will not have any growth. Only civilians grow here and even then it's a slow growth

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
