Pros

Well maintained building and laboratories Room to move around in the company if your boss lets you (which he/she can block if they want)

Cons

Company tends to stray too far from core business into unknown and unproven business ventures An above average amount of people get fired due to "under performance", to which employees are given no notice or remediation opportunity CEO (and VP's) makes an obscene about of money ($1.2M) for a "non profit" organization Some employees are under worked (7 hour days) and some over worked (overtime with no pay) Many managers have a profit first, employees second attitude Employees are pushed to meet revenue goals, with little regard to project feasibility and preparation Goals and due dates are set to unattainable and unsustainable levels Employee family members and friends get preferential hiring treatment and are placed above more qualified external candidates Many people are fired for not meeting goals or just because their managers do not like them

Pros

Great team members. Solid mission to work towards.

Cons

Work life balance, they killed the culture and the senior leadership changes with the wind. Lack of communication across divisions. Strong preference for inclusion for onsite team; remote are left out frequently, intentionally.
