Pros

Smart scientists. Great location. People at the lower levels care about each other and there is good work life balance

Cons

No strategy or decision making and nothing seems to get completed. Every good idea or initiative loses steam halfway thru.

Pros

Most people not in IT were great, most IT techs were hard working, though under trained. Good culture, Harvard U Fellows were outstanding.

Cons

Much IT management was incredibly unqualified for their positions. Mac support was amateurish at best. lots of back stabbing. "teacher pets", arrogance and blame shifting.
