GET OUT! - Manager Element Materials Technology Employee Review

Pros

If your lab gets a ridiculously high buyout offer from Element, take the money and run. But don't look back. It will only break your heart.

Cons

If Element buys your laboratory, put your resume on LinkedIn, Monster, etc and GET OUT. How do you know upper management is lying? Their lips are moving. They will promise you the moon to make you stay during the transition period and then destroy everything you have spent your career building. They start by intimidating and pushing out your long time employees that created your successful lab. Your clients will leave. Your employees will leave. Skyrocketing pricing is disguising the destruction of this once respectable industry.

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.
