Pros

It is located in Montana. It is R&D. If you bring in a grant, you can stay. Cost of living is very low and compensation is OK. Town is full of ex-Resodyn employees to commiserate with and share job hunting tips.

Cons

This is an extreme grant mill. No grant, no job. Most research people don't survive more than 6-12 months there. (No Joke) Uses a work order system for research staff with coercion to underestimate time estimate. Most people do not have time to enjoy the Montana location or weekends. Flat management. Very limited facilities, even office supplies are difficult to obtain.

The reviewers Pro summary provided seems to feed into the Cons perspectives noted below, and will be addressed as such. As noted in the Cons review from January 6, 2013, and addressed above, staff interested in conducting/leading advanced R&D efforts are required to bring in the R&D funds via the submission and winning of grant proposals. Resodyn is not funded by investors and does not use debt financing to conduct high-risk research and development work for new products or to grow the business. This business building methodology was a demanding route to take, especially during the era of this review. However, the demands, risks, rewards of this approach have been clearly articulated to each person during the challenging Resodyn interview process. Work at Resodyn is conducted using a Work Order system for a few reasons. One is to establish well defined understandings of project goals and staff expectations. Another is to establish and maintain fiscal control of project expenditures. Additionally, Resodyn conducts work for the federal government, which requires an orderly and auditable process to determine what projects are being worked on, and by whom Resodyn is required to maintain a well-documented audit trail that that meets the rigor required by government auditing processes.

Pros

-You’ll never take a healthy work environment for granted again -Learn what shouldn’t be allowed in the workplace, with first hand experience

Cons

(Emotional endurance required. Experience optional.) Are you looking for a workplace where the expectations are unclear, the support is inconsistent, and the outcomes somehow still fall on you? Are you looking for a workplace that will truly test your limits? Have you ever thought, “What if my workplace felt like hell on earth?” Well, great news What we offer: • A dynamic environment where accountability is highly selective • The opportunity to report serious concerns and watch them professionally ignored • A front-row seat to how problems are managed …by avoiding it entirely • Harassment concerns that build character and trauma bonds • Leadership that micromanages • A culture where talking to each other… isn’t allowed. (Don’t you even dare talk about chickens) What you’ll experience: • The slow realization that doing the right thing doesn’t always work in your favor • Subtle (mostly unsubtle) shifts in how you’re treated after speaking up • Mastering the art of acting “normal” after things that aren’t Key responsibilities: • Keep your head down • Don’t ask the wrong questions • Learn quickly which problems are “not problems” Requirements: • Thick skin • Low expectations • A strong sense of humor (you’ll need it) Bonus perks: • Free emotional rollercoasters • Often bathroom cry sessions (BYO tissues) • A CEO that will follow you to the bathroom and listen outside the door We’re not looking for the most qualified candidate. We’re looking for someone who can tolerate the most. If you’re searching for respect, accountability, or a healthy culture …keep looking. If you’re curious how much you can put up with before it changes you… apply.
