Business Outlook
Pros
The mission is fantastic. Lots of smart people doing great work to better the world. The work/life balance, as well as the ability to promote are very good. Most people here are very dedicated to their work. The environment is generally much more progressive than other federal government jobs.
Cons
Some buildings aren't on campus and feel quite disconnected. My job can be quite boring and often not very challenging. Many of the same normal drawbacks of all federal government jobs also exist here, including bureaucracy, Federal funding has been on the decrease the past few years, which makes funding new projects very difficult.
