      Pros

      Some schedule flexibility. They probably won't notice if you're not doing your work. Almost absolute forgiveness for total incompetence. Some good people. Decent parking. Interesting place.

      Cons

      Massively bureaucratic HR & procurement causes a lot of issues. Bizarre relationships between divisions mandated from above stifle innovation in groups not 'allowed' to innovate. They haven't realized how dependent they are on grandfathered-in older employees who will soon retire but carry a lot of hidden knowledge & expertise. Not enough pay & support for the bay area, especially if you have a family. No decent meals on site.

      Pros

      The opportunity to contribute to high-impact scientific research while collaborating with a dedicated, intelligent team was truly rewarding.

      Cons

      Workload consistently increased while resources simultaneously diminished, creating a lack of backup personnel for key roles, and significant operational silos between departments hindered cross-functional collaboration.
