      Pros

      Brilliant, talented people - multiple Nobel prize laureates, National Academy of Sciences members, and global experts in their fields. An organizational concern for the well-being of their workers that's embraced and encouraged by leadership. Strong culture, and promotion of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accountability. A good work-life balance but also opportunities to advance - I've seen lots of people make the leap from individual contributor to leadership. Employee safety, both physically and mentally/emotionally is a top focus. People seem to see the benefits of telecommuting and flexible hours.

      Cons

      Salary and benefits, it's just hard to compete with Silicon Valley / San Francisco private sector.

      If you have a good PI it's a great place but many PI's aren't good to work for

      Pros

      The facilities available are quite impressive as long as your work fits neatly into the strengths of the lab. Some rock star PI's do a great job mentoring students and supporting post docs.

      Cons

      Depending on the building, facilities may not be particularly responsive. Several PI's aren't particularly productive and treat post docs more or less like a disposable work force. It can be hard to tell which PI just from interviews.
