Pros

Great people and working environment. I was fully included in all aspects of the research and never felt that I was less valued than those with higher degrees. Exciting and interesting research. Flexible scheduling. Training provided on-site.

Cons

Higher level positions require advanced degrees, especially PhDs. Since certain equipment and lab space is shared between groups, use of those devices/areas must be scheduled out in advance.
