Business outlook
Pros
Innovative and cross-disciplinary. You'll be exposed to the best in science in terms of people and resources. If you like academic research, but hate the mismanagement and paltry resources that come along with it at most colleges and universities, this is a great place.
Cons
Full time positions are hard to get, in fact practically nonexistent.If you are a contractor, expect to stay a contractor. There is no path to moving up in the institution and people to fill any open positions will almost always come from external sources. Funding is dependent upon the federal government's whims.
