The people working there are extremely friendly and very dedicated to their work. The geographic location is amazing, set in a rustic environment. The benefits are also excellent when compared to a similar job.

Salary isn't as competitive as similar jobs in the industry. Funding is very limited and can be a limiting factor on your research.
