Pros

The people are nice, general culture has historically been friendly.

Cons

Shaking up the executive management has caused mid level management to fear for their jobs which has caused them to agree to any new policy even if it’s not necessarily best for the well-being of employees. Unfortunately being told advancement opportunities are likely to be for those that show their face in the office daily and work at HQ. A lot of turnover, unsure of the future state of the culture or opportunities for career advancement. Not focusing on D&I initiatives currently. They also need to focus on training middle management to develop and challenge talent but unlikely to happen in the near future.

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.
