Pros

Pays the bills, laid back work environment, talented technical staff, capability to work with minimal supervision.

Cons

Poor leadership, poor decision making, benefits cut, losing good staff, just a number when it didn't use to be like that. When it didn't always use to be about the money, we were profitable and staff was happy, now it's the opposite.

Great scientific staff and broad range of work.

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

Pros

Work with multidisciplinary technical teams; interesting projects; great campus in Columbus with a lot of history.

Cons

Battelle is in a period of drastic change. Battelle was not able to win sufficient numbers of research contracts over the past 2-3 years, and therefore the contract research workforce is being drastically reduced through layoffs, and early retirement offers. Currently, tough place to be a research scientist. Overall, Battelle is unloading a majority of its talent to cut costs.
