      Pros

      Great to work in a mission-driven organization making lasting impacts in bioscience. Very smart and passionate people work here. Excellent 401(k) matching and parental leave policy. I feel challenged daily to grow, learn, and take ownership over work. Great work/life balance.

      Cons

      Can be a little disorganized and difficult to find what you need. Takes some time learning the organization to know who to go to, for what. Wish we had more vacation time.
