Pros

The benefits package is one of the best.

Cons

Raises only happen once a year, also the severance package is only 1 week. You get a 2nd week of you sign a contract saying you wont sue them.

Pros

They have excellent employee benefits and compensations. Great collaborative relationship across programs with opportunity to collaborate on projects and proposals.

Cons

Need to hold some in upper management within programs more accountable for bringing in funding. Also need to make sure that funds for proposal development is accessible to all working on proposals so that project funds are not spent trying to generate more funding.

Pros

Great working environment, such strong supportive supervisors and really fostered the possibility to grow as an employee.

Cons

At times the phase of projects was slower then I would have preferred. Often this was due to slow moving decisions by leadership.
