Pros
They have various interesting topics and projects for researchers, have many great experts/fellows that young researchers may work with, opportunity to expand network is great. Basic salary is above Bandung UMR, lunch is covered. 2 days wfh/a week (but you must stay in bandung)
Cons
No other benefits, no BPJS Kesehatan and BPJS TK and they wont even consider giving it to their employees. Micromanagement and toxic higher ups, it is a family business so despite what is says on the paper, decision making lies heavily on 1 person with heavy schedules (so you have to follow their schedule, work on holiday? sure because they have no other time to discuss this thing that may as well be discussed online but they only want discussion to be held offline). Although they have a bunch of middle management people, they have no control over what the bosses say. So, sometimes miscommunication happens. No merit based system or indicator for bonuses or promotion. If the bosses like you, you may probably get them. Administration and financing are a mess in this place. Very high turnover rate (yeah go figure why). Unpaid internship. Working overtime is usual business, but there's no compensation for that. except when you work on the weekend/holiday, they exchange it with additional leave day. Allowance for field work are heavily managed as in you only get a certain amount per day enough for 3x meals, but if you don't use the money, they will ask the rest of the money back.
