Pros

People are great, benefits are decent. Generally low-stress work.

Cons

Way behind the times on lab equipment and procedures. Most of the data is handwritten when our lab instruments are capable of digital output. Calculations that could be done in excel must be done by calculator and pen and paper. Employees performance based on the number of clerical errors made. People fired because of clerical errors. If we just embraced the times and used digital outputs of data, nobody would have errors been transcribing on paper!! Amount of handwritten paperwork is ridiculous. Time consuming and unnecessary.

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
