      Pros

      Many workshops almost everyday on biology and computer science. Great for those looking for learning opportunities. Awesome location and building. Vibrant environment. Smart people. Very good work/life balance.

      Cons

      Lower pay for software engineers compared to private sector. One can feel the academic inefficiency at times compared to product development groups in private sector.

      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.
