Pros

I have the freedom to explore interests in new products. It is a very flexible working environment. People I work with are terrific, fun and interesting to be around. Basically it is a good fit for me as I like to push myself hard on projects and with the 6 week vacaion policy, they don't mind me disappearing to recharge my batteries for a few weeks at the project's end.

Cons

I like what I do and could find work elsewhere if I had a problem with the place. I think most people here feel that way, though there are a few that don't.

Pros

Incredible benefits, worth 40% of your salary. So much time off it's hard to use. Great health care, 36 hour work week (if your boss doesn't make you work more), slow-paced.

Cons

So much time off it's hard to use it all without losing it with annual rollover caps. Pay is terrible. In theory, you come for the benefits and the lighter, less frenetic workload but that very much depends on who your boss is and what team you work for. I worked for a very mismanaged research center where my manager expected everyone to be available 24 hours a day. Most PU departments operate at a snail's pace, no sense of urgency even on urgent things. Independent faculty doing cool things but the institution is very lowercase c conservative. No pathway for advancement, especially on smaller teams.
