Pros

Good salaries, many nice and helpful people. Pretty campus, flexible schedules and decent benefits. Divisions are all different and have unique cultures.

Cons

Research dominates and staff is treated like second class citizens. Systemic morale and ethics issues. Management and HR are not interested in changing or improving the workplace.

Pros

Naturally beautiful campus with a serene feeling. Most people here, especially in the HR department, are likeable.

Cons

The company ignored years of complaints about a toxic manager. Had to quit when I realized how much it was affecting my sleep and leading to issues such as hypertension and heart palpitations. A year of homelessness later and I would still do it again just to get away.
