1. good life/work balance 2. very encouraging about additional education/tuition reimbursement 3. very flexible work hours 4. people who can't manage get demoted pretty quickly 5. management is involved in the work of the people they are managing 6. just about everyone is smart 7. location is very convenient (in Lexington) - away from a lot of traffic 8. awesome library/staff on lincoln campus 9. can get involved with a number of different projects if you're bored with your current one

Cons

1. lincoln has an odd system for promotions - you need to be working under the right leader and on the right projects to get noticed 2. not all work can be published due to security issues - publications are key for scientists/engineers 3. relatively little feedback on work from superiors 4. egos can be a problem at times 5. pay is mediocre compared to other places
