Pros

Good people Positive culture Competitive compensation Interesting and engaging projects that are important to our world

Cons

PTO and parental leave benefits could be a bit better. Primarily a government contractor, which means the business is contingent on federal funding and there is a fair amount of bureaucracy. Strict time reporting requirements down to 0.1 hour increments.

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.
