Pros

Excellent colleagues, a good environment for research, top-notch equipment and facilities

Cons

No room for career growth. This is more stable than a private sector job but nothing like a tenured academic job.

People are generally friendly, the schedule flexibility is pretty good

The current administration is not good at managing anything. Their directives constantly change and leave us with more work and less output.
