Given that they succeeded in completing the poisoning of my opinion of academia and scientific research there is no career there at all. I say complete because PhDs can feel unpleasant, but that's mostly a result of high stress, difficult work, no security, and complete lack of a social life and interaction with other people for 4 years, rather than science itself but it does set an emotional impression of what research is like that is somewhat difficult to overcome.
