I agree with the above replies, as research in academia is more likely open-ended in a way or another, managed by a Professor. While in Industry research takes a slightly different path in which the research goal is set clearly, with a well-designed and studied timeline, and with a most likely expected outcome. The fund in both depends on the lab/research and on the institute/company. Team members are different also, in academia it is a grad student who is in the same level and learning things as they work in the lab, getting some instructions or advice from their professor which might be frustrating sometimes for the grad student. Results may not be satisfactory enough for the professor in the end, and they may need to review and repeat many steps until some better results are reached. While in industry, although a researcher may need to work harder to meet managers deadline, still researchers in academia usually have harsher deadlines such as conference submitting and grants.

For me, I would say that so far, this course convinced me more to try my best to work as a research scientist in the industry as I will have more opportunities to contribute in many different projects in a shorter period. It also depends in the end on the researcher personality and available chances.
