Pros

Good benefits with respect to health benefits, retirement, and time off. Really enjoyed working with my colleagues performing state-of-the-art research

Cons

Institute I was working for nearly worked me to death and the lack of work-life balance, lack of professional development, and lack of career development were the main reasons I left.
