Business Outlook

Pros

Nice environment, not a lot of pressure, good life-work balance, managers stay out of your way as long as you do your job well

Cons

Too much politics. Not a clear science ladder. Promoting mainly women to reach a 50% equality (which makes it very discriminating). Too many people with fuzzy objectives like "improving culture"

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the best scientists around (If only the management would listen to them) Within some groups there is great teamwork and collaboration Some managers actually care about their employees (even if upper management does not) Ability to get a wide range of experience

Cons

Management unwilling to listen to criticism especially when issues are brought up at town halls Blatant favoritism for promotions, projects and reviews Directors and above are out of contact with people who report to them They say that they "follow the science" which is true since too many of their programs are "me too"
