Pros

Tons of projects across a very broad range of domains, ability to pitch your own research projects for funding, easy to switch projects, lots of flexibility & great work-life balance, top-notch benefits, great people, great company culture.

Cons

Pay is a bit below industry standard, largely due to its not-for-profit, government-funded status.

Pros

Interesting work for anyone looking for multiple domains. The benefits are excellent.

Cons

Management can be hit-or-miss. Some projects are dead ends and you should be wise not to join those projects. Compensation is sub-par.
