      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work at the frontier with some of the smartest people in the world.

      Cons

      The usual downsides of a public institution: too much bureaucracy, too little funding.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting environment, good benefits. Great international exposure, a lot to learn for young people.

      Cons

      Salaries in lower grades sometimes do not reflect the level of responsibility. Limited development opportunities over time if you are in a support function.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * international community * very friendly environment * many free-time activities organised by people * working hours are rather flexible * opportunity to learn lots of things

      Cons

      * the size of the company imparts many small individual groups exist, and each such group is responsible for themselves - sometimes processes like code reviews are missing.
