      Pros

      The location is good, and the lab includes a big variety of resources.

      Cons

      Some scientists, so-called "PI" here, don't quite support their postdoc's career, although high work load are assigned to postdoc. For example, the opportunity for postdocs to go outside for conference is much smaller than in universities, though the PIs keep flying everywhere to present the data from their postdocs. So sad and discouraging!

      Great place to work if you look like upper management

      Pros

      Great benefits and great salary.

      Cons

      Upper management represents the spectrum of Ivory. If your skin color falls on the spectrum you will get promoted or groomed into a management position. They claim to value diversity, yet only 8% of the staff represents women of color. If you're the "wrong" color you will not be promoted. In fact, you will have a hard time moving around. Many of the managers suffer from discrimination and favoritism. Most have been promoted based on color and network. Many only have a highschool diploma. Regular staff members range from Bacholors degrees to MBA. If you can stomach the toxicity utilize the education program before jumping ship.
