Pros

Exposure to important emerging scientific concepts; lots of chances to meet leading scientists; flexible work scheduling. Very good, smart colleagues. Very good benefits (for now)

Cons

Relatively flat organizational structures allow for fewer promotional options. As of the past 5 years, salary tracks stalled at least 15 percent behind where they should be. Over exposure to political machinations of Congress and the Executive Office.

Pros

Great benefits and good hours

Cons

If you’re not a liberal or progressive you will be the kid with lice. During the Biden admin your skin color is the only thing that mattered not your skill.
