Pros

Great people to work with in the local team. Opportunities to learn scientific techniques. Parts of the job are very interesting.

Cons

Major decisions are made by corporate offices overseas by people you have never met who just treat us as another entry on the budget spreadsheet. This leads to understaffing and constantly being overworked and pulled in many directions. Constantly adding more responsibilities without more compensation. Wages for some are much lower than they should be.
