      Pros

      Cutting-edge research, focus on science/tech, not profits. Able to play real and useful role in addressing national security challenges.

      Cons

      Release review and other bureaucratic thickets can be frustrating.

      Thank you for your comments and your long service. There is an inherent amount of bureaucracy that is necessary to administer the enterprise. Through management created committees, most procedures are bring actively reviewed and assessed for streamlining. While there will always likely be some "thickets", we hope to make them more manageable.

      Pros

      It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

      Pros

      great people to work with, but not for.

      Cons

      Leadership needs to look inward and see what is wrong. If you want to get hired here you must need to know someone hire up.
