Pros

You learn a lot as an employee here. People are very friendly and make you feel at home. The vacation time is way more than most places.

Cons

The only bad thing about working here is you have to follow all university rules even though it isn't actually a school atmosphere.

Pros

The materials research lab is one of the best in the country and provides some of the best faculty and equipment around.

Cons

there really arent many significant downsides. one maybe the location of state college which is not close to any industrial hot spots in case you are looking for a job.
