Pros

Great place to start a career in research and get your foot in the door.

Cons

The office is very political and management picks favorites. This makes it extremely challenging to move up in the company solely based on experience.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
