Free bus, very laid back. Very diverse.
Cons
Work hard, get results = no reward, no advancement. Not a result driven organization. Some teams you slave away for nothing. Salaries could be better. You either are a postdoc, treated like a postdoc (expected to leave), or if you are one of the non-academic staff, perhaps chase a middle management role that doesn't exists, no career progression.

Pros
The Management Training Scheme at Sanger is an brilliant opportunity to get a unique 360° experience of the institute. You get to work in different departments over 6 month rotations providing a really unique fresh eyes perspective to each department so it really is a win-win all round. Each day at Sanger is really different, you never know what project you are going to pick up next. I have worked on a variety of different projects and feel like the opportunity for career progression here is really good and my opinion is valued.
Cons
The campus is far from the city centre but with working from home this hasn't been an issue so far. Hopefully they will continue to allow a working from home hybrid which would ease some of the travel time when we do go back.

Pros
One of the world's largest sequencing centers. Very exciting environment to learn new skills and meet people. Break-trough science being done by top scientists.
Cons
Seems that some of the support roles don't get very good working conditions and it shows. Cambridge can be very expensive. Campus is far from the city and it can be a hassle to catch the free shuttle.
