Pros

-Meaningful research mission -Feels like a startup with high level of responsibility in early career -Everyone leaves right at 5pm, so work/life balance is great

Cons

-Company cares only about tenure; merit-based raises are extremely hard to come by -Very little communication from HR about performance evaluations, COL increases, or raises; managers never seem to know anything -Poor career advancement and growth and pay is already not great -Team dynamics depend entirely on managers who lack basic project management skills -Without a budget for happy hours, people do not connect outside of work

Pros

Have nothing but positive things to say. I’m sure the work experience varies based on the actual research team and PI (who are al amazing) but I got very lucky to have an amazing PM who really advocates for me and has provided wonderful leadership, opportunities for mentorship and growth opportunities. Pay and benefits are very good.

Cons

Not anything negative to HJF but more of the nature of instability in contract work
