Pros

Really good summer fellowship, learned a lot. Nice benefits (free meals, activities etc)

Cons

Expected to work really hard. Most days at least 12-14 hours. Given the illusion of scientific freedom but then pigeon holed back into more narrow focus.

Pros

A tremendous place to grow and work with collaborative and smart people. You are encouraged to experiment regardless of what team you are on. Pay is also great!

Cons

Some days are tough, we move fast, but that's better than staying complacent.

Pros

- Office Location makes for a nice walk - There are smart people in the org who can be learned from

Cons

- Reactive IT leadership, if you aren't at the top you will be on a ship that is being steered blindly while sounding productive - Huge breakdowns in reporting structure, people in management/leadership positions who should not be - Contractors are treated less-than-human
