Business outlook
Pros
Equipment is top-notch and available, salaries are above industry average.
Cons
Soft money institution run by academics. Most scientists apply for extramural funding, DOE takes a high overhead for support staff. I have not yet met a single employee employed by the DOE. Most positions are contingent on available grant funding (usually awarded a maximum of 3-5 years).
