Pros

Good salary, work life balance, fitness center. Excellent technical staff. Interesting research and development projects. Excellent legacy as an independent, not-for-profit contract R&D firm.

Cons

Benefits are declining rapidly, management is top-heavy, focus shifting from small research-oriented projects to larger service contracts and product development. Less focus on science and more on increasing revenue. Stovepiped business structure increasingly limits interdisciplinary collaboration.
