Pros

Work life balance is great. Feeling that what you are doing is important, because it is.

Cons

Much of the workforce pay is covered by grants from NIH and other research grants. So in 2025 this is scary.

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.
