Pros

There are some fantastic and smart people here. And the Society members are wonderful people by in large. Generally work-life balance is good too, though it varies by department.

Cons

Very top heavy, with little room to grow. The handful of people at the very top tend to drive away talent with a mix of too much micromanagement, bad attitudes, and unrealistic expectations. There has been a lot of turn over, and more discouraging, re-organizations (aka "lay offs"), in the name of budget cuts, but the people at the very top make hundreds of thousands of dollars (and the only new jobs added seem to be at the top, while jobs cut are at the bottom). Leads to bad morale.
