Pros

The location was great before they moved the jobs to New Jersey. Employees are expected to know the science whether you're in research or not (this is good). They are cutting edge on some projects.

Cons

Inflexible management. Poor pay. Paternalistic attitudes. Authoritarian. A little bit siloed but not bad. They don't expect enough from their employees and so they don't get anything more than government work.
