Pros

Benefits package is one of the best I've experienced. Freedom to do your job, Fair amount of freedom to do the job (though, see caveat below).Spread out campus allows you to get up and stretch when needed.

Cons

Far too encumbered by self-induced delays and hindrances. Too much excuse-making of the FDA inhibiting advancement, when the main causes are internal. Very political culture - it's often who you know. The pro's of freedom to do your job is countered by having many 'fiefdoms' where local 'tyrants' rule by holding a critical position.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
