Pros

Flexible working environment (work from home) Nice benefits package (if you're a perm employee) Nice location in Cambridge, UK Work-life balance respected Focus on science

Cons

Poor communication from management to employees If you don't have a managerial title, in some teams, you won't feel like your work is valued, at all Managers actually don't know how to be managers and support their teams Political environment, you have to be good at "playing games" and cover your back if you want to stay in the company long-term Poorly dealt with transition to Cambridge
