Pros

Reasonable management and salary. Leave never expires.

Cons

Not much selections of opportunities within BAE for some specialized skills No sick leave. You're in BAE but not in BAE especially if you'll be working at a client site.

Pros

Great technology, good people, a lot of knowledge sharing and opportunities to learn. Lots of beenfits such as PTO, flex time, etc... Familiar atmosphere.

Cons

Senior management seems to be keeping lower level employees in the dark about future work, the direction of the company, and direction of the site. Revolving lay-offs have eaten away at at employee moral, lots of people are leaving due to lack of career security.

Pros

Diverse range of projects handled in our group, from optolectronics to nanoscale materials. If you are a PhD scientist who likes doing laboratory work and applied research, you will like it here. Research personnel are expected to "bootstrap" programs, i.e. get them going from the initial conceptualization of the science and technology, writing the proposals, making the materials, to constructing prototypes. Fortunately, our group had a good blend of people with the background to make this happen.

Cons

Our group felt more like a small start-up company than part of a multi-billion dollar corporation. We always seemed to be scrapping and scrounging for access to analytical instrumentation or creating laboratory infrastructure as we went along. There was no "corporate research center" to tap into. There was also little cooperation or communication between the lines of business, and we found ourselves competing with other parts of the company for funding.
