Pros

The tenured people who were part of the organization under Eric Schnur's leadership.

Cons

The senior leadership team is a bunch of individuals who only care about their own success. They have been captured by the failed approach of implementing DEI; thus ruining an previously remarkable culture. Additionally, they have been fools to think that investing in China and India is the best for the future of the company. We'll see how that works out with the Trump Administrations new approach to global markets.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
