Pros
-Interesting projects, talented workforce -Great work-life balance and flexibility. Consistently working overtime is very discouraged. People really respect your days off and are very flexible if you have other obligations -Good local leadership. Group leaders are very understanding and accessible. -Plenty of opportunities and tools to learn new skills -Lots of great resources for new employees and early career professionals -Campus is nice and infrastructure is kept up to date
Cons
-Your ability to find steady funding and interesting projects depends on your group leader and network (its difficult for new/junior employees to be aware of the best opportunities and it can be a source of stress trying to find coverage) -Recent decline in benefits and uncertainty about the health of the company really making morale take a hit -Senior leadership seems disconnected and gives a lot of mixed signals
