Pros

World-class science and innovation. Top of the line instrumentation and technology is available, and partnerships with vendors to development new technologies is actively encouraged. Flex hours and flexible vacation time makes for a good work/life balance.

Cons

Little room for advancement, unless you're one of the "favorites" that always seem to do well when performance evaluation time rolls around.

Pros

Good salary, access to cutting edge technologies, smart and dedicated coworkers. Clean, well equipped labs. Interesting projects with a clear mission.

Cons

Bureaucracy is stifling. I sometimes feel as if the company is actively trying to work against me in accomplishing my goals. You'll hit a glass ceiling on the research track quickly without a PhD. Limited opportunities to advance despite management's lip service to the contrary.
