Pros

The work is autonomous, very interesting, and fun to work on. Biggest difference between graduate school and post doc is no more course requirements and slightly more pay.

Cons

Research in a bubble. Many people will not be able to easily understand what you work on. the work environment is probably too isolated.

Pros

This organization is experiencing growth and is committed to establishing itself within the systems history of excellence. There is a lot of freedom to develop new ideas.

Cons

The pay structure, on -boarding process, and communication structures are heinous and often unprofessional. Subordinates make more than their more experienced supervisors and there is no clear chain of command in many areas.
