Pros

Wonderfully kind culture, uncommonly technically and scientifically competent team members all the way up to upper management, and open-mindedness. There is real room to grow here and literally everyone will help you do just that.

Cons

The hourly pay model has pros and cons. The single (large) PTO bank and no official company holidays is an interesting model which you can make work for you, just something to be aware of as a potential downside.

Pros

This is a great company to work for if you're looking to do a 9 to 5 with minimal stress.

Cons

There's not a lot of room for real career growth and the compensation is pretty bad.
