Pros

It's a paycheck while you have it...

Cons

Upper managements claims they would reduce management and overhead by eliminating 400 jobs. In my business line, approximately 10% of the engineers were let go while a new management position was opened (approximately a 10% increase in an already bloated, inneffective management team). Management called it a Reduction In Force (RIF), but there are currently 36 positions open in my old business line. Lies! People who didn't blindly follow the company's misguided direction were let go while they remain unable to fill open positions. Unless you like playing games, brown nosing, and/or being a lemming, work anywhere else.

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.
