Pros

The biggest "pro" from working at Battelle is that your peers will most likely be very intelligent, insightful and capable. It can be very inspiring to work in an environment where you are surrounded by such smart people. That is, until management lays them off.

Cons

Huge inconsistencies and no standardization in hiring practices, advancement, salaries, etc. Management is extremely lopsided with 98% of employees falling into the "Level 6," or lowest category. Individuals with exemplary technical skills do not seem to go to the management route, so management can be very incompetent. This compounded with the fact that managers have anywhere from 30-150 direct reports means little to no quality interaction between manager and employee.
