Pros

Decent 401K match, multiple options for health care

Cons

Company that is stuck in its ways and really bad management progression practices. PhDs who have no business telling other people what to do end up being middle managers.

Pros

Good benefits overall outside of pay.

Cons

Horrible pay. If you take internal moves, you keep your old job while getting a new one. 5-7% pay bump for promotions. Never feel heard.

Pros

Got along with a lot of great people and worked on some innovative projects. Decent benefits and PTO. "Unlimited" sick time that doesn't count towards PTO, so that was nice.

Cons

Minimal career opportunities in the technical ladder for those without PHDs. Mostly only PHDs in managerial roles. Many B.S and M.S chemists are stuck doing mainly technician work to pump out results, rather than working on why we see results. I wish I could've felt more ownership of my projects, rather than just a data generator.
