Pros

Incredible quality of work. World-class peers seeking to advance the state of science through R&D

Cons

Highly uncompetitive salary for the Bay Area. The salary's locality adjustment is far more appropriate for other centers.

Pros

Exciting and interesting projects, unique chance to contribute to public research outside of academia, wonderful colleagues, thoughtful management, treated with respect, great work/life balance

Cons

Directly subject to federal funding and politics, lower pay than industry. Limited budget resulted in a hiring freeze, so there is more work than employees can handle, and projects are delayed as a result
