Pros

- Lots of growth opportunities - exciting research that spans large scope - great company culture - work life balance and a flexible 9/80 schedule

Cons

- there is a temptation and opportunity to be silo’d off in technical work(but you should stay engaged with business development if you want career growth) - recent shift in employee population a little discouraging - PTO package is not great

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
