      Pros

      You will meet many people working there from many countries and everyone is pretty much on the same level.

      Cons

      Management works on their likes and dislikes, don't make management mad or they will find a way to can you

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Vacation and Medical Leave are separate and accrue at equal rates. Laid-back, academic atmosphere. People enjoy sharing what they are working on. Vast melting pot of cultures from around the world. Cool tech on the frontier of physics.

      Cons

      Communication between Sectors, Departments and Groups can be rather problematic. Too many islands. Too much budget tension from year to year. Despite being employed by Fermi Research Alliance, the purse strings are held by the US Department of Energy Office of Science (thus DoE...thus Congress) Salary freezes and furloughs do occur when Congress refuses to function. It seems that Cronyism runs rampant in the (shallow) ranks of Management. There is a lot of dead wood which should purged. There are MANY working groups which tends to make the Management structure more broad than deep. The problem is that a non-physicist has a difficult time moving up the rather short ladder.
