      Relaxed work environment, but slow career progression

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relaxed working environment, pretty much everyone has a PhD so there's plenty to learn. If you find doing just research satisfying enough then it is great.

      Cons

      Slow pace of research and reasonably slow career progression. Salary isn't as competitive as some other companies.
