Pros

Highly motivated peers and most of them are committed to quality work getting delivered on time. I've been very fortunate to be surrounded by some of the best across the department.

Cons

The compensation offered is significantly below the market rate. Despite verbal assurances at the time of hiring that a performance evaluation would occur within 4-6 months, I have not received an official evaluation even after a year of employment. It appears that current market conditions are being used as a rationale for managers to disregard requests for evaluations, despite my strong performance and multiple recognitions from peers and management. My manager has repeatedly stated that the evaluation is "on their to-do list" for the past four months, but no action has been taken.

Pros

Managers are outstanding. They truly respect and care about their employees. They make you feel comfortable sharing your opinions. They empower you to take action. The culture is fantastic. Fellow employees are wonderful to work with. Everyone takes their role seriously. You feel part of a village and want to contribute. You get to do what you do best! The mission and purpose make this feel not so much like a job, more like a way of life.

Cons

As is true for many companies, there are a lot of changes needed to be competitive in this current environment. Working through the changes can be bumpy at times. It is worth it to voice concerns and be part of the solution.

Pros

1. Genuine intellectual autonomy with real institutional backing behind you 2, A research heritage spanning nearly a century that raises the bar on everything you produce. I've worked with Nobel Laureates and many other top minds. 3. The nicest smart people I've encountered anywhere, drawn from all over the world; and that's held true across nearly 30 years 4. Treated like a responsible adult from day one; lots of autonomy and a remarkable breadth of data and research to work with 5. A place where your individuality is an asset, not something to sand down

Cons

1. If you are a person who needs someone else to structure your day and hand you a to-do list, you may struggle; the autonomy is real, and so are the expectations that come with it 2. The pace and intellectual standards can be demanding; this is not a coast-and-collect-a-paycheck environment
