Pros

I worked at Battelle for decades and honestly loved the various jobs I had there. The people there are very smart and caring. Battelle does amazing work that benefits humanity and I was proud to be a part of that. They have several employee resource groups and have a lot of events to help staff stay connected.

Cons

There are very frequent reorganizations and that causes some angst among employees. There have also cut back on benefits over the years, which I think is a sign of the times.

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.
