Pros

I worked with younger fun people.

Cons

Complete disconnect with management and operations. My experience was that Senior Scientist who assign duties to people lower on the totem pole were misled about their abilities. That's a huge systemic flaw because it leads to deviations and stress. They also pressure you to sign off on things saying that you know how to run certain experiments so that they can deflect any wrong doing if things go wrong. l wasn't a fan, but some people flourish there. I also strongly disliked my manager.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
