Pros

Nice offices, pleasant location in the countryside. There is some interesting research which goes on. Some opportunities for travel overseas (especially if you like Holland).

Cons

A lot of political infighting between senior managers. A lot of bullying. Scientists are treated with contempt (one senior manager told us we shouldn't expect a good salary because we're scientist and just enjoy what we're doing): you will not get any promotion for being a good scientist, only for saying "yes" to the right person, never questioning what you're told to do (even if it makes no sense for a research project) and playing the political game (i.e. getting your manager a promotion).
