Pros

I have a lot of flexibility. Benefits are awesome. The science is great and there are a LOT of smart people here. Work here is interesting and fun.

Cons

Good managers are rare. Many are incompetent and defensive and unreasonable as a result.

Pros

Great benefits and good hours

Cons

If you’re not a liberal or progressive you will be the kid with lice. During the Biden admin your skin color is the only thing that mattered not your skill.

Pros

Brilliant mission focused colleagues, meaningful work that has a real impact, good benefits and work life balance.

Cons

The current administration turned the well oiled machine into chaos, disrupting funding, research, travel, and more. I’ve heard that it is improving, but still constantly changing and a chaotic environment. I know it will one day get back to the amazing place it was.
