Pros
Work is extremely interesting and socially valuable; staff in general are extremely collegial
Cons
Communication across offices was difficult -- Waltham is a spoke and RDU is definitely the hub of all important decision making. This posed a number of problems in recruitment of new staff -- often the wage/salary dynamics of the RDU market dominated the thinking rather than what it takes to hire into the Boston market. For some kinds of positions that doesn't matter, but for more commercially focused work the wage/salary disparity between the two regions was striking. It made it nearly impossible to recruit staff at an acceptable comp level.
