      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Non profit oriented or non military research, very friendly and relaxed people, one of the best jobs to start your career.

      Cons

      (depends of the section that the worker belongs and the subject of the work) After some years the job can become a routine and can spoil the worker because of the small evolutionary carrer chances.
