Vantaggi
Had no idea how great this place would be when I was onboarded. If you're considering applying/accepting I'd advise you to do it. This place really cares about their employees, understands the times we are in, and allows for flexibility. People are nice (can't say I've interacted with everyone, but on the whole), flexibility, yet again, is paramount, lab has good core values and contributes to the world in a meaningful way. Obviously my experience has been shaped by my group of people, but the lab has a lot going for it all over the place. Good medical/dental/vision, good retirement, cool projects to see coming in and out. Definitely a great place to work, and obviously located in a beautiful area!!
Svantaggi
Things can definitely get bogged down by bureaucratic nonsense, and it does sometimes feel like you are bashing your head against a wall. Lots of standards to adhere to, not much wiggle room, and I'd say that the direction from the lab about WFH has been a little unclear.
