Pros

Your coworkers and the technical problem solving have, and will always be, the best part of Battelle. People generally want to do the right thing, even if it goes against "policy".

Cons

Executive leadership has destroyed the reputation, morale and goodwill of the company. Recent early retirement offers have resulted in the intellectual capitol walking out the door, with high potential, mid career staff following closely behind due to better opportunities elsewhere. Those that remain are young and inexperienced, mid level, risk adverse and disengaged, or Sr. Management with outdated ideas of what the workplace should be. Lack of market insight makes us blind to the realities of the business we want to go after, and the blurred lines between government and commercial make us inefficient and lethargic at both. While commercial makes decent returns, the government business continues to crater, yet all are treated equally. If this were a public company, the underperforming businesses, and their leaders, would have been gone long ago.

Pros

Colleagues are nice. Very good work environment. A lot of cross functional stuff to learn and a lot of people to meet. In general, it is very nice to work here.

Cons

Just like other big corporates, heavily upper management.
