Pros

The pay is good for what you do. There is little micromanaging by management. You are able to develop your own process and run with them.

Cons

It is contracting work, so you are subject to whatever the federal employees say. The managers tend to side with federal employees because of fear of repercussions on the contract. Not much upward movement even if you ask for a promotion and submit all of the paperwork yourself. The yearly raises are only about 3%, equivelant to the yearl inflation rate.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
