Pros
Fantastic benefits, most managers are pretty easy-going about allowing flexible work schedules and time off. Coworkers can be friendly, but it depends on the lab/team. Lots of opportunities to get involved with cutting-edge technology (but you must proactively ask for them).
Cons
This is a very high profile research organization. Because of this, there are a lot of prima donnas among leadership. There is definitely a caste system here: don't expect to be promoted very far up the ladder without a MD or PhD. If you want a raise or promotion, you have to heavily advocate for yourself. Most people give up and leave after 3-5 years.
