Pros: We work from home four days a week.

Cons: I have to go to work one day a week.

Pros: Ability to work from home and onsite Generous sick and annual leave Some managers who are good and many people who are fantastic to work with

Cons: Employee happiness is completely dependent on whether their direct manager is toxic. There is no way to raise issues if they are awful. Diversity in gender and race has not improved in the past decade because all efforts are all talk and no tangible action. Employees went from stressed out to now concerned about burnout on the annual survey, and the issues are shrugged off. Resources to get work done are ignored if requested, and employees become a “problem” when they speak up. The toxic culture outweighs the cool mission, unfortunately.

Pros: Research topics and smart peers

Cons: Low pay and office politics.
