Battelle reviews

Battelle has gone from being a leader in the scientific and homeland security businesses to one that is loosing respect both from its employees and its clients, particularly its government clients. Its become all about politics, favoritism and misguided work goals. Older seasoned employees are often laid off while younger employees (cheaper) are left to do work they aren't able to do. The result is too often poor work output, loss of respect from clients and loss of business. At the Battelle office I worked at for several years over 75% of the staff were let go or laid off over the past few years. The staff who were left were often very highly overpaid managers running inexperienced staff who really didn't know what they were doing. Morale was so bad anyone who could leave did as soon as they could, and many were quickly snapped up by companies that appreciated them and used their skills wisely.

Hire and fire. Walking on eggshells. Pay raises are bad.
