Pros

Fairly willing to pay for grad school and support patent applications. If you get your grad school paid for, it is a pretty good deal even though you are making much less than you would in a job.

Cons

Advisers can take advantage of students. The adviser has all of the power, so if you get a bad adviser, he or she can ruin your career if they don't like you or make you miserable for 5+ years.

Pros

Various labs to work for. Students of all majors can find a project relevant to their academic interests. Lead scientists are experienced and have doctorates or masters degrees.

Cons

Nothing off the top of my head.

Pros

There is plenty of room for advancement if you are proactive. There is a heavy emphasis on learning and development, which is great early in a career. I have grown a tremendous amount in the short amount of time I have worked here.

Cons

Salaries are a bit lower than what you find in private sector companies. Working for DOD contracts on almost every project can make you feel a bit like a war profiteer.
