Pros

+ Generous benefits, time off + Fair compensation + Powerful mission, strong scientific impact + Vast majority of the employees are dedicated, caring, team focused, humble, kind + Some excellent leaders in the organization + Beautiful facilities, of course

Cons

- Some people get promoted based on their personal scientific contributions rather than their soft skills or ability to manage teams. There is more effort being invested in training & development for some of these skills gaps though, and hopefully this will help. - On many teams there is a culture of working long hours. This is approximately in line with the rest of the industry - certainly not more than in most other corporate cultures or research communities.
