Pros

Excellent benefits The charitable work they encourage for employee is fantastic Very good pay (not phenomenal but definitely above average) Kind people with little micro-management

Cons

There's a culture of only a few people doing the majority of the work and many people doing very little. Consistent bonuses/increases are always nice, but it incentivizes the below average performers to continue to be below average. A fair amount of politics are at play where a person will go farther putting effort with the boys club and playing golf than actually working.

Pros

Great company and good people. Good benefits. Good quality culture.

Cons

As with many jobs, there are some more difficult jobs where it is hard to retain good people. As an example, there are several entry/medium level positions that are critical but do not pay well.

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.
