Good pay if that's all you want. Absolutely no job satisfaction. Mediocre benefits. - Demil Tech Battelle Employee Review

Pros

Pay is good since there is built in overtime to the work schedule.

Cons

There are no raises the first year. It's a pro-rated set amount. Management only recognizes skill sets to use them, not reward them. Only 80 hours PTO a year. That's sick and vacation combined. Everyday is like groundhogs day. Undo what you did yesterday and redo it. No space to work, not enough computers, no place to take breaks. Very limited opportunities for promotion or lateral transfers.

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.
