      Pros

      Benefits, flexible hours, good people, smart people, healthy working environment, meaningful work, just an all around great place to work

      Cons

      I think some people can get annoyed with all the security but I know it comes with the job. It is located on a Air Force Base.

      Thanks for your insights. It is true that security is a big part of the work experience here. The Lab was recently recognized with a top award for excellent security practices. It is an important part of our role and we take it seriously. The benefits, flexibility and meaningful work typically offset any security concerns.

      Pros

      It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

      Pros

      Historically a very stable job, interesting work, great people

      Cons

      There can be a lack of mentorship for people early in their careers, although your experience will depend heavily on which group you are in. There are only 3 main levels of engineer with very limited group leader positions, making upward mobility limited.
