Pros

Really good job for intellectual challenges, and rewarding in the task.

Cons

Deeply-seated long term employees block progress, and often do not even show up for work (classically "working from home today") and rarely at desk. Permitted at the highest levels.

Exposure to multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, scientists, technicians, and project managers. Strong focus on safety, quality, and technical excellence. Good work-life balance and professional development opportunities. Ability to contribute to long-term projects with significant national and scientific importance.
