      Business outlook

      Pros

      Nearly everyone here is an expert in their field. Discussions are kept on topic. Goals are clear and work ethic is strong. Focus is on the project, as it should be

      Cons

      If you're not an engineer or scientist with at least 2 advanced degrees, you are a second class citizen and not taken seriously. Anything financial is considered a necessary evil despite Sponsor requirements. While technology is in the forefront, financial tools/systems are decades behind. Resistance to change is strong.

      Business outlook

      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

      Historically a very stable job, interesting work, great people

      Cons

      There can be a lack of mentorship for people early in their careers, although your experience will depend heavily on which group you are in. There are only 3 main levels of engineer with very limited group leader positions, making upward mobility limited.
