Pros

Respected company and exciting science. Lots of great people and no drama among employees (drama comes from management). True unlimited vacation with many managers.

Cons

Arrogant physicists make all the decisions and don't listen to engineers. They all have the same exact skillset which is no longer useful in growing the company. Some groups are very poorly run while others are not. There is no cohesive policies. Advancement is a joke. Projects take forever because things are poorly run and communication skills are lacking everywhere.

Pros

The scientific community is exceptional. I love working with them and learning from them. Work life balance and flexibility is the best I’ve experienced in industry.

Cons

Engineering processes and rigor is missing, and the leadership team has been very slow to develop. The biggest issue is that those in leadership lack the proper industry experience to be effective. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if they would listen to those on their team that DO have the right experience. They have not demonstrated their ability to listen and take action. I really feel for the junior engineers that don’t know any better and as a result, aren’t being set up for success in the most crucial part of their career.

Pros

If you are a physicist, this place is amazing. Enormous budgets, lots of talent, lots of freedom - it is basically grad school with much better pay. For physicists (especially ion trappers) this is a 5 star company.

Cons

If you are an engineer, don't bother even applying. This company is "science led" and doesn't do engineering. You will get crapped on because you are not an ion trapper. I once saw the president of the company give a guy a hard time because he wasn't an ion trapper. Engineering managers are all physicists who failed up. No one knows how to do product development - it is all cut-and-fit on the fly, then wonder why nothing works. You have almost no chance of promotion. For engineers this is a 1 star company.
