Pros

Wonderful culture (at least in my group, this can vary across Groups and divisions), brilliant, humble, and helpful people, amazing plethora of projects to work on, and fantastic work-life balance and respect of boundaries. Great pay and benefits for an FFRDC.

Cons

Some time expectations of what one should be doing as a technical staff aren't clear, there's so many ways to exist as one at the lab and so many potential paths one can take. However, this is pretty minor compared to the pros. Also, bonuses would be nice

Pros

It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

Pros

great people to work with, but not for.

Cons

Leadership needs to look inward and see what is wrong. If you want to get hired here you must need to know someone hire up.
