Pros
- friendly work environment - promising products - helpful people in every department - good location (close to freeway & biking distance from BART) - encourage employees to take interest in topics by hosting speakers for seminars - good communication within groups to help each other out on projects - challenge employees to understand the research and tasks rather than encourage mundane routine experiments - take up the challenge of research side projects, not just working toward the next product deadline
Cons
- kinda quiet because it's a small company, so not too many people all over the place - working by yourself a lot since everyone is pretty spread out and works on an independent schedule - adjusting to the lab environment since certain individuals have a very distinct style of research and have been there for a really long time
