      Pros

      Awesome work-life balance, generous 401(K) plan, collegial atmosphere, professional development is very good. One can feel that she/he contributes a lot to the national security, science and/or well-being of the society. Most colleagues are very smart with many credentials.

      Cons

      The type of work varies and some may be stuck doing mundane things. Need to have better lab environment and start using Macs. Comp is below average but can be negotiated when joining the company.
