Pros

In the beginning, the job was good despite several red flags.

Cons

It went from no management to the worse manager I've ever had as a scientist for over 20 years. I was verbally harassed on group calls by other senior staff and nothing was done about it, not even an apology. Micro-managed and no respect for myself or my family during the pandemic as everyone on my team was able to work from home but me, with a newborn baby at home. Definitely one of the worse jobs I've ever had. Don't ignore the red flags! You've been warned!
