      Refreshing professionalism and focus

      Pros

      What a pleasure to work with grownups who are not susceptible to rants, demeaning lectures, and a whole lot of time and effort put toward futile drills and presentations and layers and layers of meaningless processes. Flexible with time, and a focus on getting the work done.

      Cons

      Coming in to the office 3x weekly is a waste of time, money, and carbon emissions when your team is global.

      Pros

      Very interesting work. Nice people for the most part and a lot of resources available compared with small companies. A lot of intelligent people.

      Cons

      If you want to be a scientist and don’t have a PhD, you’ll have a very difficult time progressing in a career here. Fresh kids out of the program start 2-3 levels higher than those who have been in industry for 10 years or more. You have to work your tail off to get to the level of fresh PhD’s. Often time, it takes 15-20 years of experience to get to the level that new PhD’s with 0 years of industry experience come in as. The reasoning being that this is an unofficial reward based system to incentivize getting your PhD. You do find some competitiveness as per most large companies that gets annoying.
