Pros

Good salary; generous education program; nice views from the site

Cons

No sense of mission; no interest in seeking economic benefit of taxpayer-funded research; a lot of snarky, unpleasant people; lack of onsite parking; unsafe walkways; leadership shows little interest in operational staff/achievements (versus scientific staff); areas/divisions are siloed; the least woman-friendly place I have ever worked; everything done at the last minute.
