Pros

You will get to see a lot of interesting stuff with all the different labs and experiments going on.

Cons

Family nepotism. They do not do things by standards. They try to keep people as contractors as long as possible with dangling the carrot of full time. Most people have no professional experience, they either know someone of are family of someone. The union here is weak.
