Pros

The science is still top notch. If you are not in management, the work life balance seems to be ok.

Cons

Benefits and pay are now only average. Upper management micromanages way too much. There is no trust. Morale is at an all time low since I began working there. Too corporate for a non-profit.

Pros

Good salary, good benefits, HHMI doesn't bother you much

Cons

Your experience is entirely dependent upon the lab you are in - could be a pro or con. This is true for postdoc roles in general.

Pros

You're working on contributing to cutting edge & advanced biomedical research with world leaders.

Cons

Compensation is regularly divorced from what your workload and scope of responsibilities looks like, and does not scale accordingly.
