Pros
The work can be cutting edge and very interesting
Cons
As with most contractors, appearances to the client trump quality and scientific soundness. Thus Sig Sci does not stand up for their employees in instances of misunderstanding, client miscommunication, or incorrect client perceptions. So, it's basically keep your head down, work like a dog, and if the client says to spin around 5 times and jump like a frog each time you perform an experiment, you don't question why you just do it. Plus, as others have said, there are cliques and the kiss up factor is pretty strong.
