Pros

Peers within the labs are amazing.

Cons

Where do I start? Zero flexibility, low pay, "mandatory OT," growth only comes from people leaving so everyone can all compete for that one open position but company hires out instead, less than a 3% raise per year. The list goes on and on. The worst part of this company is the management. Management pretends to be for the workers, but literally only protects company interests. The turnover rate for this job is ~2yrs. There is zero work life balance and people in higher positions purposely don't train you for job security.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
