      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exciting fundamental research, good salary and good working conditions. The best place to enhance your academic CV and academic network.

      Cons

      Workload can be high sometimes, especially close to deadlines. Continuity is not guaranteed, and competing for staff positions is extremely high.
