Pros

Great for fresh grads to break into the field as well as researchers heading toward retirement. For those in-between who seek growth, seek elsewhere.

Cons

Retention and compensation problems exist. Politics are apparent and favoritism blatant. Leadership not very accountable and the company is constantly losing exceptional talent (and many with latent potential) due to high turnover - salaries are not very competitive and toxic behavior is often overlooked. Ownership with ideas and technology are issues as I have seen Directors and their respective teams take ownership of others' innovative ideas and achievements. Recognition is non-existent or at times, extremely lagging.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
