Pros
Dinner after 8pm (regularly) and a monthly “party”. If bullish enough, you can work your way up. Will let you work overtime until burnout or worse.
Cons
A small number of individuals who seek advancement through opportunistic means can negatively impact a company's culture and diminish the motivation of its employees to excel. To excel as a manager in the field of science, proficiency is required in either scientific expertise or effective management skills. Regrettably, a few incompetent individuals lacking in both areas receive unwavering support from the CEO, resulting in the alienation and eventual resignation or termination of nearly every scientist due to management’s own insecurities. You may find yourself struggling to justify the majority of decisions that are made, so it is advisable to embrace the graying and wrinkling that comes with every role. Throughout your journey within the company, you may encounter resistance and skepticism, leading to a lack of trust and confidentiality in both directions, as indicated by HR's preference for sharing personal information. Experiencing a heavy workload and feeling undervalued in terms of compensation and respect is the norm.
