Pros

Top notch people, challenging technical work. No formal dress code, flex time, on site cafeteria, fitness center, credit union, dry cleaners, lots of plusses for the 'life' part of work-life.

Cons

Keeping touch in technical areas where work isn't funded. Securing funding. Competitive business landscape (not so much a 'con' as a reality).

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.
