Pros

We have access to all the latest technologies, and the group leaders are constantly pushing to expand our knowledge of human disease. Plus all of the projects are aimed at solving a problem that humanity faces, which makes the boring parts of the job easier to get through.

Cons

To my knowledge there is not much room for advancement among staff scientists, the pay is relatively low compared to nearby companies, and the large number of upper-management employees can make getting small things done overly complicated.

Pros

The lab culture is a mix of professional and laid-back, and each floor is different. Some of the brightest minds work here, and there are great resources, IF you can figure out how to best access them. Excellent benefits package

Cons

Fairly high turnover rate for employees. Sort of wasteful: not a lot of thought goes into reducing labware usage, carbon footprint, recycling, etc.

Pros

It was a such a fun work environment because everyone I worked with was under 30 and liked to go out. The job was always evolving to the next technology, which was also a lot of fun, playing with new expensive robots and machines other places couldnt afford

Cons

There wasnt a lot of room for advancement. The pay was decent but not great. The politics were intense. Management was mostly hired internally so ppl didnt have the adequate experience to handle managing a team, esp of peers.
