Pros

Research colleagues are bright and hard working. Have not experienced any instances of unethical conduct, backbiting, or attempts to undermine others' efforts.

Cons

There is a substantial amount of uncertainty now as the merger is implemented. Management should move as promptly as possible to resolve this uncertainty and provide clear leadership and direction.

Merger has created a difficult atmosphere to work in. Uncertainty about sites, research projects, and future areas of focus has hurt productivity
