Stagnant salaries, management without technical expertise
Pros: There are some top-quality researchers here, especially those left over from when it was a world-class research organization. Working with those people can be very rewarding.
Cons: More recent hires are very much focused on areas related to current management buzzwords such as smarter this or that, and tend not to be very strong. A lot of the senior management believes it has the "vision" necessary to micro-manage the work of research staff. As a result, the people who can find other jobs bolt. What remains are the dregs.
