Pros: You get tremendous satisfaction working on products impacting the lives of millions in the world. You don't get to publish as a researcher, don't have a lot of freedom in your research, and are also expected to do a lot of hands-on engineering work yourself. But then you have flexible hours, unlimited funding, really practical applications with great impact, and industry-leading brains to learn from. There is a great emphasis on work-life balance, as you get long paternity leave, aren't expected to work on weekends, and you get to choose how you space your daily work hours.

Cons: Since the idea to product lifecycle is really long, research moves slow. You don't get to publish, discuss, or collaborate with anyone outside. Growth may be slow and difficult, as you've to really struggle to shine in a basket full of diamonds.

Pros: Good collaboration, good work-life balance, and good benefits.

Cons: Unclear responsibility between teams. The package may not be that attractive.

Pros: High salary with amazing work experience.

Cons: Hard-working, with limited work-life balance.
