Pros

Good salary, benefits, work-life balance. Team functions like a well oiled machine. Treated like human being with a passion for work and a life outside the office. Relatively stable for non-insulated scientists.

Cons

Salary is low for Southern California, especially given the company clout and quality of work expected from top scientists. Salary differential (cost of living adjusted) for identical position was ~ $60,000.

Pros

Good benefits and 401k, diverse environment

Cons

Company would rather let experienced employees go than promote/increase pay (especially living in California). Because of this no one knows what they are doing because everyone is new with no experience. It has been nearly impossible to meet all these moving deadlines.
