Pros
Its a good place to work with talented people. One of the best places to work in GDL. Additionally, the lab gives you a lot of flexibility and freedom, you just need to deliver as an employee.
Cons
The offices are really far, commute is awful. Theres not much to see near the office. Growth within the company is sometimes hard, since not all managers care about merit. They gave a lot of value to perceived leadership (not always real leadership) which makes people leave for better opportunities outside.

Pros
* Supportive management * Very little micromanagement * Competitive Salary * Excellent Benefits
Cons
* Not too many extra perks such as outings or meals or gym memberships or extra vacation days * If things go wrong, it can take some time to get them fixed. * Work culture is okay. Split into various micro groups. * 401K match contribution only happens at the end of the year. If you leave before year end, you forfeit the company's contribution. * Not much support for personal growth except for what is offered by company itself. * Monthly employee recognition process makes no sense. * Finally, the company has implemented a new way to evaluate performance based on input from employees. Have to wait till the end of the year to see how it works out.
