It is a roller coster ride with ups and down.
Pros: Its a good place to do research. Very few pure research labs left. Researchers here are great and scope of collaboration is good as well. Very very flexible and work life balance is great here.
Cons: Low pay, no stock options. There can be bureaucracy and getting things moving can be hard, especially if you are working towards a product impact. If your aim is academic impact then it is a very good place.
