      Pros

      Great scientific environment. Working with leaders in the field of particle physics.

      Cons

      The scientist are older so for a young person it isn't the best place for a social group. Although there is an established graduate student network which organizes some social events.

      Pros

      This is a great place to work. It is a professional research environment with new and very interesting projects always coming up. Staff is very friendly, with many people from different countries. Managers are very flexible in allowing personal time. There is full tuition reimbursement. Good medical, dental and retirement plans. If you are not a physicist you can learn a lot about high energy physics working here!

      Cons

      Recent uncertainties on funding of large projects resulted on voluntary layoffs. Involuntary layoffs were canceled at the last minute due to supplemental funding. The main accelerator is closing in a couple of years and layoffs will occur. Come to Chicago area only if you like cold and windy winters.
