Pros

You get to work on some of most fascinating projects you can imagine. You also have a lot of responsibility and aren't pigeonholed into one narrow area. Brilliant coworkers (scientist and engineers). In general the work/life balance here is fantastic compared to Silicon Valley companies

Cons

The flip side of the coin is the pay is really low compared to what you can get in Silicon Valley. That's the trade off. Also, opportunities for advancement are rare.
