A mixed bag, too much admin

Postdoctoral research associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Open environment/a more idealistic version of what an academic research setting should be.

Cons

Institute has an identity crisis, doesn't know if it's commercial and research and hasn't learnt to get the balance right. This leads to admin bloat and productivity dips without adding any real value.
