Pros

At Gladstone you will find a great scientific environment, with almost unlimited way to do science. Great equipment, great scientists, great facility support to help you focus on your science on a daily basis. Benefits are nice for an academia setting.

Hope for the best because upper management is not always caring about the base. Also, your work life balance depend on your PI, colleague and personal goals so be sure to understand where you choose to work.
