Business outlook
Pros
Compensation, retirement benefits, stable stock, recognized resume name (though often the butt of a joke these days). Work-life balance
Cons
Often silo'd into small roles with little room to learn and develop. "Small cog in big machine" feeling. Checkboxes over smart science. Andover and Groton sites are like taking valium. Nepotism and gaming the system more important for success. Constant organizational change. Lack of age, gender and racial diversity at the sen principal scientist+ range. Resources cut every year. Demoralized researchers. Internal R&D is not important to C-suite.
