Pros

Good pay, excellent benefits, 401k match is out of this world. Group director is a pleasure to work with, listens to concerns, genuinely kind, with brilliant expertise.

Cons

Incredibly high turnover, leaving behind egocentric and often harsh personalities on the management path. Lots of inter-group conflict and siloed data, despite efforts to correct. Ridiculously imbalanced and rare promotions, despite many employees functioning above their level. Recent hires of low caliber. Increasingly stressful and lean environment helmed by scientists with little industry experience and poor DOE skills, leading to lots of time wasted repeating assays and years long OFAT development. Input from lower level employees is glossed over as though we don't understand issues.

Pros

Fighting against cancer, Entrepreneurial mentality, exciting, willingness in encouraging growth as you go. They provide great benefits and really care about the well-being of its employees. The team is professional and transparent and I value that.

Cons

In frequent employee reviews. Depending on the department you work in, there are cons. But, I have alot of freedom to learn and explore and build what I do. People just have to take initiative to ask for what they desire and partner with management to achieve that goal. It also depends on your manager as well. Overall, its great for me.
