Pros

Good benefits, nice people, laid back yet professional environment. Experiences can vary widely between departments and managers. Plenty of perks that you won't find at other places.

Cons

Workplace politics were worse here than what I've experienced at other similar organizations. It can feel a bit cliquey at times.

Great pay and bonus if you work for the right team

They have their favorites and its very obvious to others in the same position, especially if you're an assistant in the research department

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Company promotes family time. Great coworkers. Decent work. Work can be challenging at times. Benefits and pay are pretty good.

Cons

Lacks opportunity to advance into management. They seem to hire from outside instead of promote from within. If you want to move up the ladder, you have to move to another company.
