Pros

They have a gym onsite

Cons

They change policies all the time to fit their agenda. Pick and choose to whom they want to enforce said policies. Management lies to your face and when you catch them and report it, they say they never said it. They tell you that you get holidays off, that is a lie, only upper Management gets holidays off. They blame you when you get hurt due to outdated, and broken equipment. Management is always in meetings yet nothing ever changes.

Pros

Great benefits and pay; retirement match; lots of perks; tuition assistance; remote work (depending on position); strong, meaningful mission

Cons

I do not have any cons to point out at this time. Maybe more days off around the holiday season.

Pros

High quality scientific services (when not overwhelmed with 'commercial' projects). Well funded, innovative researchers. Dedicated employees, with long commutes vastly under appreciated, but placated with disingenuous employee appreciation efforts.

Cons

Low pay. Major expansion of upper management ('C suite'), little focus on basic research, chasing the $ on the commercial side.
