Pros

Treat Employees Well Decent Perks Good Coworkers Some opportunity to learn Flexible environment

Cons

Academic Prejudice (if you don't have a PhD, you aren't a scientist here, nor worth anything to the company) Extremely understaffed (in my dept) Unrealistic promises of growth Very low pay for the job requirements (and tiny, tiny, tiny raises) No paths up within dept., only through devoting your personal time could you maybe move up into a different dept. Vague management and expectations

Pros

Cool/talented people, nice office, catered lunches, interesting product. The office would often host cool science-related events with people showing off their research.

Cons

Team didn't feel very much like a team, everyone kept to themselves and there's little in the way of collaboration, information sharing, and help. The team felt very cold and isolating (everyone sitting in the same room with headphones on the whole time) which was disappointing when walking around the office and seeing other teams talk, laugh, and make being in the office feel worthwhile. Onboarding was minimal and fraught with issues (took forever to be given access to things, etc.), and with little documentation it was difficult to get started. Feedback felt inadequate. While teammates were nice and could be helpful, no one felt very approachable and it often felt like asking questions was a nuisance.
