Pros

Access an great technologies and lots of innovative scientific ideas. A good way to expose yourself to cutting edge science

Cons

Poor Career Development with little to no room for growth. Very little effort in team building and incentives or motivation to stay. The favoritism and questionable ethics has led to a very toxic and a devastating place to work. Poor support on projects with very ambitious goals also makes it challenging to be successful.

Pros

Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

Cons

A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
