Pros

Management does not "micro-manage" - they trust you to do your work. I am on my third assignment and I hope to get hired in. They pay better than any company I have ever worked for and seem to value their employees. I also have had very pleasant working conditions - an office or a nice cubicle and enjoyable work. Most of the people are very friendly and welcoming towards me.

Cons

I haven't found any yet.

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.
