Pros

Incredibly supportive and tight-knit environment, great benefits, and surprisingly competitive pay for nonprofit research jobs. Also, upper management actively encourages you to take care of yourself. We got several spontaneous days off in 2020 and 2021 to increase morale at the height of the pandemic.

Cons

While Gladstone is technically a part of UCSF, it's also a separate nonprofit, so staff doesn't get to unionize the way UCSF staff does. That being said, our base salaries are higher than theirs, so we don't really need to at this point. If you're in a research position, of course, your experience will be heavily influenced by your relationship with your principal investigator, so make sure it's a healthy one.

Pros

Completely depends on who is your PI. Some are great mentors who are passionate about science and care for their students. Some are 100% selfish and show concern for themselves, their image.

Cons

You must create data or you are going to be yelled at in group meetings. Ego-driven atmosphere. Some floors have have a small number of labs compared to other floors. which limits effective intercommunication and fruitful discussions.
