Pros

Not many. A few good people.

Cons

Work they do for government is waste of taxpayer money. Vision of Founder is self-interest. Leadership style among worst of my experience

Of course, it's disappointing to receive this type of feedback, as it appears your decade at our firm did not play out as you might've hoped. Our team takes that to heart and will strive to help others who are here (or choose to join the firm) to find the support, development opportunities, and camaraderie that they seek throughout a professional research career. Hopefully, you can still take advantage of the skills and experience you developed while here. Good luck to you!
