Pros
If you are a physicist, this place is amazing. Enormous budgets, lots of talent, lots of freedom - it is basically grad school with much better pay. For physicists (especially ion trappers) this is a 5 star company.
Cons
If you are an engineer, don't bother even applying. This company is "science led" and doesn't do engineering. You will get crapped on because you are not an ion trapper. I once saw the president of the company give a guy a hard time because he wasn't an ion trapper. Engineering managers are all physicists who failed up. No one knows how to do product development - it is all cut-and-fit on the fly, then wonder why nothing works. You have almost no chance of promotion. For engineers this is a 1 star company.
