Challenging work, good people. The projects are fun and there are good opportunities for career growth. Very good benefits for employees

Cons

Promotions are more based off of seniority rather than work performance. It is difficult to transfer knowledge to other industries.

Pros

Great Resume builder. Great opportunities for networking in the research field. Casual Work Environment. Great location to work if in biotech/engineering/life sciences/comp. sci.

Cons

A lot of programs and protocol are set up that do absolutely nothing. Several of the research facilities are very old/antiquated. Several of the more popular research programs are really unorganized from an administrative standpoint.
