Pros

Exciting and interesting projects, a unique chance to contribute to public research outside of academia, wonderful colleagues, thoughtful management, treated with respect, and a great work/life balance.

Cons

Directly subject to federal funding and politics, with lower pay than industry. A limited budget resulted in a hiring freeze, so there is more work than employees can handle, and projects are delayed as a result.
