Pros

Great benefit, flexible working hours, great experience but depending on whom you work for. I am lucky working with an excellent and smart leader in military. Expanding and achieving a lot in scientific field. Compensation is reasonable based on your capability.

Cons

We are contractors from HJF to various military units around country, so there is uncertainty when contracts end

Pros

-Meaningful research mission -Feels like a startup with high level of responsibility in early career -Everyone leaves right at 5pm, so work/life balance is great

Cons

-Company cares only about tenure; merit-based raises are extremely hard to come by -Very little communication from HR about performance evaluations, COL increases, or raises; managers never seem to know anything -Poor career advancement and growth and pay is already not great -Team dynamics depend entirely on managers who lack basic project management skills -Without a budget for happy hours, people do not connect outside of work
