Pros

Smart colleagues, interesting work, and good degree of flexibility to shape your own work.

Mid-level management is terrible: poor understanding of how to manage people and projects, still poor feedback practices, and no transparency. In addition, there are unclear and difficult reporting relationships with researchers and low salaries.
