Pros

I really enjoyed that most people I worked around were nice. Exciting work always happening, and great access for networking. The location is great and is central to all the academic areas.

Cons

The pay wasn't the greatest compared to industry standard for my career field - security/DoD. But other than that, there are really not any negatives that come to mind.

Pros

Interesting work, good colleagues, company is supportive and there is good work/life balance. There are leadership opportunities for those to want them. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up with inflation. It's hard to break in as a new employee. There is a lot of change, mostly for the better but a lot of change.
