Pros

Most co-workers are very intelligent and working with them can be an incredible learning experience. Most projects are very interesting and fun to work with.

Cons

Complete lack of direction, at least with this particular position. Six months spent on a project that will most likely never see the light of day. A good engineer/scientist doesn't always make a good boss.
