Great experience, easy-going environment, great coworkers

Pros

Intellectually challenging work; smart, motivated coworkers; relaxed research environment;

Cons

Job security can be an issue. Like all research labs, you are paid on a certain contract (usually government) which will eventually end. When that happens, you must find additional funding for a new project or look for a place on another team for the source of your salary. I don't think this is a big problem, but fear of it sometimes stressed my coworkers out.

Not much research. Emphasis on contracts.

Pros

Good benefits, flexible schedules, very few meetings. If you are lucky to be in the right group you can find interesting work.

Cons

Very high overheads with the result small and moderate businesses are winning out competing contracts especially BAAs. Self-patronizing management with no long-term vision. When the going was good with DoD contracts, hired lot of people. Now they are facing some tough times and several people have either left on their own or not finding enough work. Practically no innovation but lot of self-complacency that they are among the best (which they are not -- compare patents and awards at Lincoln Labs or JPL in comparison with GTRI). Too much emphasis on contract development and fund-rising.

Pros

Doing advanced work. Able to get help from many individuals. Well-respected employer. Feel like I am actually doing something worthwhile and useful.

Cons

Sometimes, the lab seems to be a bit anti-social. Most people leave their office doors open, but always have headphones on. No one really seems to leave their desks that often.
