Pros

Flexible hours, interdisciplinary work, cutting-edge equipment, a wide selection of technical and scientific challenges. Leadership is heavily visionary (which is both a pro and a con, depending on your temperament).

Cons

The company is scattered amongst multiple buildings and even within buildings teams are quite heavily silo'ed -- the left hand often does not know what the right hand is doing. Professional/career development requires a tremendous amount of initiative to pull off -- resources are there, but are not always easy to find/access. Leadership is heavily visionary (which is both a pro and a con, depending on your temperament).

Pros

Work life balance is really unmatched. I worked 40 hours a week on a bad week. All the people are energetic, young, and nice. After you pay your dues you get a lot of freedom and career advancement opportunities at an early age.

Cons

The first two years in process development you are going to be doing primarily production work with limited opportunity to pursue your own experiments. Non-profit payscale.
