Pros

Great scientific staff and broad range of work.

Cons

Weak upper management with limited business experience. Continual layoffs and poor retention of talented technical staff have gutted many capabilities.

Pros

Staff generally are supportive of each other; when employees leave they usually say they'll miss the people the most. Many have been able to change careers within the company, switching from research to a support group. Much of the research we do is truly mind-blowing!

Cons

Work experience is highly dependent on who you report to; politics is rife. Senior leadership is disconnected from issues and attitudes among general staff. Lack of enforcement of standardized procedures makes heroics the norm to accomplish goals. Growth is negative; they are tearing down buildings, selling off property, and currently are conducting a buy-out of long-term staff. Morale is in the pits right now.
