Pros

Do interesting work at the cutting edge of science, technology and society. Meet people who are passionate about what they do. Flexible hours and good work/life balance.

Cons

No support from management. No career development. Nepotism is rampant, if you don't already have a sponsor in the executive team, don't bother joining the company. No rewards for good work done. A lot of inexperienced employees who think they are still working in academia. Lack of a clear business model. Scientists are valued above all other employees.

Poor engineering management. Dating internal encouraged, but this led to unwanted advances and targeting by some males in power.
