Business Outlook
Pros
Ability to pursue own research if funding available. Emphasis on technology transition dependent on government funding. Average salary but very good benefits and flexible work schedule. Good facilities. But expectation is that you will do a lot of background work on your own time.
Cons
Not a good place for someone looking for a 9-5 job. Advancement more keyed to winning proposals than program performance. Engineers play a secondary role to scientists but that is changing. Management often seems indecisive in resolving problems.
