      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility in the working hours

      Cons

      Management actively disincentivizes researchers from doing any innovative work. Management has no idea about research in general, and pencil pushing bureaucracy is valued a lot, actively wasting valuable researcher time. Good company if you are looking for a very stable job, but DO NOT join if you are young, want to do fundamental research, or want to learn from peers. Researchers are extremely silo-ed and research labs actively compete for same funding sources, as a result collaboration is highly discouraged.
