Pros

-Generous PTO and holidays - Hybrid schedule -although could be fully remote. -My line manager was great and supportive and did what she could at her level - personally I like the cubicle set up that we still have here where the new offices are more open seating. -Amazing study team (which can really influence your experience). Although lots of turnover recently due to layoffs.

Cons

-Constant threat of layoffs the last 3 years. -LM recently laid off so now will report to LM in MX. -upper management of the department lacks transparency -nonexistent opportunities in the US for growth -Pay sucks and now merit increases for our 2024 review are on hold until Q3 - which I predict will not happen then either. -Have to be in office yet it seems empty and not as fun as it was when our group was larger. -Losing some really incredible people due to the layoffs.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
