Pros

Working at Flagship has allowed me to continue thinking creatively about science while transitioning away from academia. Unlike the majority of industry jobs, Flagship encourages uniquely high levels of autonomy and scientific freedom.

Cons

Most scientists have no training in starting companies, so there is a steep learning curve initially.
