Business Outlook
Pros
Great science and a lot of diverse scientific expertise. Challenging projects and a lot of “side” opportunities from operation to HR to employee resource groups.
Cons
Because there are so many people those at the very top are simply too special (especially in their own mind…). After a while the department heads start see themselves as almost god like and start to expect no questions. Ambitious people either start to say yes and or go to a smaller place where top managers are mere mortals and consequently other voices can be heard. As a result of this phenomenon the vast majority of middle managers are yes men. There is a reluctance to fire stagnant yes men - which also results in everyone leaving.
