Pros

Got along with a lot of great people and worked on some innovative projects. Decent benefits and PTO. "Unlimited" sick time that doesn't count towards PTO, so that was nice.

Cons

Minimal career opportunities in the technical ladder for those without PHDs. Mostly only PHDs in managerial roles. Many B.S and M.S chemists are stuck doing mainly technician work to pump out results, rather than working on why we see results. I wish I could've felt more ownership of my projects, rather than just a data generator.
