Pros

Mostly flat organizational hierarchies are good despite having corporate like structure. Lots of opportunities to attend exciting research talks.

Cons

Horrible experience of actually working there! Full of politics that people (some teams if not all) play to hide their incompetence and for appearance. It's mostly smokes over a little bit of fire that the prestigious institute is able to generate.

Pros

Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

Cons

A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
