Pros

High expectations in the company of high achievers push you to do your best work. No clock to punch--you make your own schedule. Amazing co-workers.

Cons

It's a car with an accelerator but no breaks--you work and work and work and work and there's still more work. People pile up vacation days and don't use them. High burnout rates. Tons of document production for internal purposes. Not a lot of room for career advancement.

Pros

Best investigative research in the industry. Lots of autonomy. Lots of support if you get the right supervisor, can be a disaster if you don't.

Cons

Work/life balance is a myth and a dream. Extremely intense expectations. It's worth it because the outcomes are top-notch, but it's a lot of inputs.
