Pros

Paid well. Intelligent workforce and everyone is very helpful.

Cons

A lot of positions are contract-based, so if a contract ends you need to look for work within the company (or elsewhere). I've seen even seasoned employees fired with no notice, which is the company policy to maintain security.

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.
