Pros
Another "plug-and-play" platform, but has potential to work with the right guidance, timelines, and decisions. The people are some of the best, as scientists and good humans, and a large factor in deciding to work here. Mid-size company that is very structured with respect to which teams are responsible for various aspects of projects, though all involved are then celebrated when milestones are achieved. The LTI incentive is a solid reason to work hard and stay at the company.
Cons
The upsides are also the downsides in that the potential goes to waste due to a lack of vision and understanding of realistic timelines and data expectations. Decisions made at the top can seem very far removed from what's actually happening in the lab, while having a huge impact on those in the lab. Sometimes there seems to be preferential treatment of non-research employees (WFH/hybrid ability) over research employees. Long-term goals with short-term planning.
