Pros

Battelle has really focused on revamping their culture over the past year. Though I cannot speak to the culture over the past years, I can speak to the culture I stepped into - one that is collaborative, supportive, and uplifting. I truly enjoy the emphasis on collaboration/team building/appreciation across departments. Working in teams has been an enjoyable experience so far - people are encouraged to embrace and respect everyone's input (regardless of rank). Also, the work that Battelle does as a whole is impactful and meaningful. Not a lot of micromanaging - people treat you like adults here. Get your work done and there won't be problems. Great benefits, flexibility, and opportunities. I feel supported in my work-life balance. Senior leadership makes themselves available to employees and values our input.

Cons

Lack of performance management/goal setting.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
