Business Outlook
Pros
Flexible hours (at least in research they are); decent pay (usually about mid-range for comparable positions across the US); okay benefits; large well-known organisation with good mission.
Cons
They are all about who you know and how close you (or your manager) is with the senior management. I call it "Big Boy's Club" (and I have 7+ years of experience to support that statement). Also, your pay will very much depend on that too (I know people got paid 20% more for exactly the same position, because their boss was close to the "Big Boys"). They say that there is "market analysis" to support the pay which is true, but of course there are endless ways to bend that truth if need be.
