Pros

Love being able to tinker with a lot of research ideas and then develop them into applications that are relevant for the industry. NRC provides a stimulating place for research without being in a cut-throat environment that only rewards how much code gets into production.

Cons

The company is not doing too well at the moment and a lot of question marks about it future.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
