Pros

After being in the lab industry for many years I made a move to Elemment. As with most service companies employment conditions can change with the market but Element seems to care about its employees and offer a better package than most of the its laboratory testing competitors. Focused on success in three core test disciplines as apposed involvement in multiple markets that can result in a lack of focus. Staff turnover is low and moral is good, the company is ran by people who know the testing industry rather than people from the financial world who run the business solely by numbers.

Cons

private equity ownership will mean there that there will be changes in the future. This is a service industry which means you have two bosses, the company and your clients both need to be happy for you to progress.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
