Pros

Very good work-life balance overall, many smart people, and meaningful work.

Cons

Some leaders are very quick to jump to conclusions, and then even quicker to jump down your throat. Their management (not leadership) approach creates a toxic work environment that slows production to a crawl and results in subordinates refusing to engage at all. Whenever a question is asked - no matter how innocent or benign - multiple hours of meetings, explanations, and extra work take place. Several employees have requested to be reassigned or quit in order to get away from this specific environment.
