Business outlook
Pros
Its great to work with enquiring minds. The people are generally friendly and helpful. Work can be very interesting, but (as you would expect in a research organisation) you need to have a head for your subject area, patience with the process, conscientiousness and ability to handle and learn from criticism. There is support for further study (if you pursue it).
Cons
Slow career progression compared with a consultancy or engineering firm. Projects can be very long and progress very slowly.
