Good salary & benefits, good work-life balance in most groups, surrounded by great scientists, patient-focused culture

Cons

Most groups have top-down culture that rewards "yes-man" mentality, people with no management experience being promoted into managerial roles with 4+ direct reports, elitism, politics (even among scientists)
