Pros

There is the opportunity to work with brilliant people from many different backgrounds and with many different areas of expertise, all of whom are hugely enthusiastic about their work. There are many interesting challenges to work and a fair degree of freedom to work on different things. There is opportunity for public engagement, plenty of training opportunities and great facilities for scientific research.

Cons

There is a lack of leadership from management at all levels due to the frustrations between different goals within the company - are we primarily a service for users or a scientific research establishment? As a result management decisions are not always clear or well communicated.
