Pros

Great people to work with, work life balance is fair. Not often do you work more than a standard 40 hour week.

Cons

Benefits are lackluster, but everyone has been there so long that they think they are still the best. Employees hired before 2010 have a pension and poat 2010 have an awful version of a replacement were they get a small contribution to a 401k annually. This is about 3% of your salary. Culture is currently in flux. New CEO is hung up on an awful book loosely based on the Wizard of Oz. EC constantly wastes money and then tells departments to spend less. Everyone feels expendable now under the new CEO. We are in a constant state of change and the EC is stuck in a Mad Men style of management.

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.
