Pros

Most colleagues are great, passionate about science and innovation.

Cons

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What began as a well-meaning Dynamic Shared Ownership model has, in practice, slowed progress and deepened bureaucracy. With team-lead and mid-level manager roles removed, many strong scientists and leaders have become frustrated and left. Meanwhile, younger talent is departing as advancement opportunities grow scarce.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
