Pros
One of the last few places where basic research is performed outside of academia. Management gives a lot of freedom to employees to pursue their interests.
Cons
Lots of beaurocracy, paperwork, and unrelated training. Managers are often not trained to handle personnel issues (they are scientists who moved up in the ranks) and this can lead to a lot of interpersonal issues.
