Pros
Exciting and interesting projects, unique chance to contribute to public research outside of academia, wonderful colleagues, thoughtful management, treated with respect, great work/life balance
Cons
Directly subject to federal funding and politics, lower pay than industry. Limited budget resulted in a hiring freeze, so there is more work than employees can handle, and projects are delayed as a result
