Pros

The work is interesting and you get to work on high profile problems. There is a great work / life balance. Great benefits. I like the people. Very stable environment.

Cons

No real way to get promoted without an advanced degree. This is a place where you need to be self-motivated to succeed since management doesn't put much pressure on underperformers.

Pros

There is a great benefits package and great time off. Working government hours is nice as well, and it's a pretty laid back place.

Cons

There isn't really any potential to move up in this company. Once you are hired, whether as a researcher or support staff, you are most likely stuck in that position whether you want to be in management or not.
