Pros

Great facility with all the fancy bells and whistles. The benefits and compensation are great, won't get anywhere near it in academe.

Cons

It's very corporate. In my 1 year there, there were 3 massive lay-offs as projects just got dumped; even scientists who were very accomplished and had been there for 10 years lost their jobs. It didn't affect me, but other post-docs lost their mentors and project, and kind of got lost in the shuffle.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
