Vantaggi

Possibility of working on cutting-edge projects, hopefully related to your field of interest or experience. Opportunities to work without much supervision and above your pay grade with little serious blow-back for failures. On site fitness center, dry cleaning, etc. Some managers allow flex time.

Svantaggi

Read what you sign at hire--the paperwork that prohibits a second job also discriminates against hobbies, and some managers will force employees to drop outside interests and volunteering. Expect mandatory unpaid overtime, more the higher you go and including nights and weekends without warning. Getting on projects, promotions, etc. depends a lot more on who above you likes you than on actual performance. Discrimination and occasional bullying still present, some groups have severe morale problems.

Vantaggi

They pay my salary on time.

Svantaggi

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
