Pros

good work environment, nice people, conducive for research, healthy atmosphere, improving everyday both in terms of research opportunities and increase in industrial collaboration

Cons

The biggest problem is certainly the insanely low salary, I met with some people who are senior scientists working for more than 5 years and yet get salaries lower than many freshers working in companies in the area
