      Pros

      The work can be relatively interesting and you are given the ability to publish, attend conferences, etc., at least once you get on a project that allows it and a PI that will let you. Also, the benefits and work flexibility are impressive. For people looking to settle into a "job," this is a good option.

      Cons

      Established lines of work mean that working in new and different areas is difficult, if not impossible. Go work elsewhere if you don't fit nicely into one of BBN's divisions. Also, Raython is slowly starting to exert influence on BBN. First: stringent IT guidelines. Next? Who knows!

      Pros

      My colleagues at BBN are virtually all sharp, motivated, highly competent and engaged. That's the best part of working here. My experience has been very positive for a number of years-- I've been given a lot of freedom to explore new ideas (within the scope of the contracts we have...) but a fair amount of feedback and encouragement towards career growth as well (in team leadership and business development). (I see in a number of these reviews that people are declaring that "Raytheon will change everything, and you're a fool if you ignore that", but I guess I will wait and see what actually happens. So far it hasn't been a problem at my level.)

      Cons

      As others have mentioned, the work is largely driven by government contracts. This does mean that there are ebbs and flows, and sometimes you end up shifting to work on one thing when you'd prefer to work on another. There also appears to be quite a difference between the departments, so what a review says about one department might be totally irrelevant to another.
