Pros

Very casual. Flexible hours. Doing your job and learning what you want is what's important. Surrounded by brilliant scientist willing to talk about what they're doing. They are open to you taking on multiple projects.

Cons

Some administrative work can cause bottleneck in your projects. Boss is sometimes out on business trips, so less guidance. Requires one to be proactive in finding more projects. The engineers don't really know your skill level so you need to talk about what you can and can't do (be honest if things are too hard or too easy)

Pros

Interesting work, good colleagues, company is supportive and there is good work/life balance. There are leadership opportunities for those to want them. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up with inflation. It's hard to break in as a new employee. There is a lot of change, mostly for the better but a lot of change.
