Great benefits but lacking incentives for research output

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, stimulating environment to learn and grow scientific career. Great work-life balance: those who do work a bit more are insulated enough that there isn't endemic pressure to follow suit.

Cons

There could be better incentive structures for research output or getting funding. Monetary, for instance.

People want to do their best work but it doesnt always mean there is alignment on what is best.

Pros

Good work life balance. Always something different to learn or do. Good coworkers who truly want to do the best work they can.

Cons

The matrixing employee setup can lead to unsatisfied employees when they cannot influence changes in behavior for employees that are matrixed to them. There isn't always alignment from both managers on what is acceptable.
