Culture of micomanaging and over-focus on achieving metrics starting from head of research, associate director of research to team's manager, making it hard to ever feel comfortable/pleasant.

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.
