Pros

There is a great benefits package with 90% coverage in costs with low deductibles. Full coverage for insurance premiums. Aside from that, nothing else.

Cons

Insulting CEO, Doesn't understand the science side of things and has never been in a lab environment. CEO used to be in hedge fund management and investment banking. Pay is insulting and not open to negotiations.
