Pros

-Interesting projects, talented workforce -Great work-life balance and flexibility. Consistently working overtime is very discouraged. People really respect your days off and are very flexible if you have other obligations -Good local leadership. Group leaders are very understanding and accessible. -Plenty of opportunities and tools to learn new skills -Lots of great resources for new employees and early career professionals -Campus is nice and infrastructure is kept up to date

Cons

-Your ability to find steady funding and interesting projects depends on your group leader and network (its difficult for new/junior employees to be aware of the best opportunities and it can be a source of stress trying to find coverage) -Recent decline in benefits and uncertainty about the health of the company really making morale take a hit -Senior leadership seems disconnected and gives a lot of mixed signals

Pros

One of the most significant advantages of my time is the opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional team.

Cons

Toxic Environment the overall workplace culture and leadership styles are fundamentally toxic, creating a stressful atmosphere. Ineffective Leadership: Senior executives lack commercial business acumen, resulting in poor strategic direction and operational inefficiencies. Zero Job Security: The organization demonstrates minimal loyalty to staff, with a constant threat of sudden, unexpected terminations because of the previous CEO Jason Providakes making the company go almost bankrupt and then they decided to get rid of an extreme amount of employees and firing phenomenal employees who did not want to get covid vaccines. Tooooo many VP's that take more annual bonuses than they should and leaving the company with scraps. Bureaucratic Overhead: Daily operations prioritize administrative paper-pushing and PowerPoint creation over meaningful innovation. Below-Market Pay!! critical security vulnerability and leadership failure at the San Diego Liberty Station facility. Following the replacement of our previous Facility Security Officer which the whole facility said it should of been the current fso to be let go the current FSO is consistently absent, leaving the site without necessary security oversight. Furthermore, this individual regularly engages in inappropriate, flirtatious conduct with visiting sponsors, which compromises our professional reputation and causes visible discomfort to external guests. Due to an unprofessional personal relationship with a coworker, the FSO also routinely fails to report to work or leaves early during core operational hours.
