Pros
-Projects are very interesting and innovative -Most people you work with are actually very smart, good team members, and genuinely want the project to succeed -403(b) matches 10% for every 5% of your contribution (fully vested after 5 years) -unlimited sick time, very good pay for fresh college grads and masters -Leadership opportunities even for people without PhDs as long as you demonstrate competency or expertise
Kontras
-Management is extremely incompetent. They encourage bad behavior from higher-ups. There are minimal consequences for the mistreatment of junior staff. -They keep people who don't deliver, don't do their job well and fire people who actually do the work. -They chose to not offer COVID testing for employees because it was too expensive. They quickly brought people back to work after one week of shutdown with minimal safety precautions. -Projects are often extremely under budgeted. -Every hour of work must be billed to a specific project. Management punishes you for charging overhead even though it is their job to find you work.
