Pros

Great people to work with. Most researchers have masters or PhD, everyone is on top of their work so you feel very motivated to work hard and smart

Cons

Company lacks technology infrastructure. People use Excel and Access as database and no newer tools. Management treats researchers better than the support teams. They also require everyone to return to office or people have to take a pay cut if working hybrid or remote.

Pros

- The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

Cons

- The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
