Pros

1) Overall a safe company to work in difficult times
2) Has distributed bonuses for 5 years now in a row
3) Company does a good job of organizing meet and greets, social events, etc

Cons

1) For a company of its size, support in every area is lacking severely. IT, lab, instrument upkeep are all very poor.
2) Has way too many meetings that resolve nothing
3) Associates are treated as commodity and are made to feel it. You are really just another 'pair of hands'
4) Not rewarded by patent nominations. If you are not a Ph.D. do not even think of making a patent even if you came up with the idea on your own.
5) Very European class structure, nobility (being Ph.Ds and above) and peasants ( anyone under)
6) No one takes responsibility for anything. Waited for 4 years after this site opened before compound purity standards were issued.
7) No fixed practices for anything. Nearly every week there is a change in policy regarding safety criteria, notebook submissions, etc

Advice to Senior Management

1) Get your act together
2) Make people feel involved as a whole
3) Reward is not only monetary but also in terms of papers/patents/acknowledgement in meetings
