Pros

Very good flexibility in schedule and work environment. Generally good pay and benefits. On-site work-out facility. There are a variety of projects to work on.

Cons

Excessive red tape in trying get things done. Definiton of roles and responsibilities is very cluttered. In competition -- Battelle has most of the usual disadbvantages of a large company without the advantages that a large company has.

Pros

Allows for flexible schedules and doesn't overwork staff; a more "kindly" disposition toward retaining staff in between projects than its competitors; encourages advancement and professional development

Cons

Despite its pride in nonprofit roots, management is focused on the bottom line and is stingier with benefits than it claims; management is also fond of reminding us we won't earn as much here as at competing firms as if that's a reflection of virtue; offices outside Columbus as isolated and the company (in the DC area at least) feels very fragmented and opaque; and overall there's a weird underdog vibe to the company
