Pros

Working environment is generally enjoyable. The scientists are dedicated, hardworking and easy to work with in a good team structure. Mid-level management is giving it there all.

Cons

Management is all over the board. There is no plan. The higher ups throw word salad at middle management and expect them to hit a moving target. They infrastructure was already taxed and the staffing is now down to a shoestring. The current scientific format will not bear fruit.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
