Great company

Pros

Salary, vacation time and emphasize on never using "PTO" for things like emergencies or sick days, great team full of motivated like-minded people.

Cons

Research can always be demanding so sometimes the schedule is a lot, more than your normal workweek. But when you're passionate about your career, it happens.

Pros

Great benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k)

Cons

Competitive, employees often stab each other in the back to receive promotions. Employees are promoted based on their networking skills rather than quality of work and years of experience. Quantity is more important than quality of work. High turnover rate due to subpar salaries and poor employee moral. Atmosphere within Quality department is not friendly. Department is not diverse. Poor balance of work life and social life.
