Pros

good benefits through UT nice people diverse workforce clean facilities federal law prohibits people bringing guns into the building

Cons

most of the managers have only ever worked at ARL, having hired in to ARL right out of college, as a result the in-bred management over 6 decades has left ARL lagging other research organizations by at least ten years restrictive operational requirements imposed by their US Gov sponsors creates significant impediments to performing work ZERO communication from upper management with rest of staff
