Pros

Excellent people - smart and diverse research talent pulled from academia, industry and govt. Great opportunities for impactful research in D&NS, working closely with govt. partners. Great location and offices. Very good values, work/life balance

Cons

Relatively small organisation and broad remit due to interface between academia and government/industry means that some support processes are not as efficient as at larger more traditional orgs.
