      Overall Good - Lately Confusing and Demoralizing

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Solid Reputation 2. Many talented people 3. Interesting projects 4. Benefits and pension and 401k are more than fair in the current economy

      Cons

      1. Very condescending attitudes from some (certainly not all) supervisors 2. Management clearly plays favorites; less than stellar performers continually rewarded and praised; less than "popular" staff often ignored even when performing at high levels; 3. Management claims to want staff to become "engaged" - but when suggestions are made, they are ignored; 4. Main end of year concerns are how to take enough PTO to make sure you don't lose it; projects take a back seat; 5. Clannishness and cliques are alive and well;

      It's over. It's really over.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Good pay. Fairly stable job. Battelle also has a good reputation which looks good on a resume. Depending on the department you work in you could be working on some very interesting projects.

      Cons

      Like a lot of others stated, management, leadership and vision score a zero. Even though you might work on an interesting project it was my experience that Battelle management and process sucked every inch of life and creativity out of it. The only way I (and many others) survived was to think of it as a paycheck and nothing more. The company is very soul-less and doesn't respect their employees one bit. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. There are plenty of other companies that will provide the same salary / benefits but offer a ton more of the intangible fulfillment one needs to grow and be successful. I'm just so glad I made it out last year.
