Pros

* World-class researchers and engineers from whom you will learn an enormous amount. * Friendly project teams, passionate about their subject and willing to help. * A "nothing is too hard" approach to problem solving and project deadlines. * Peerless academic credentials in Australia.

Cons

* Much of the executive is bereft of strategic management experience and this mediocrity breeds distrust and dysfunction. * A toxic culture of fear permeates much of the middle-ranking managers. * The legal department, once regarded as trusted resource to navigate a difficult IP landscape, is now often viewed as an willing agent for the incompetent whims of the executive.
