Pros

There are some very interesting projects to work on. There's a good amount of pride you can take away from your work, knowing it will help save lives.

Cons

There is very little opportunity for advancement. Managers are generally people that have been with the company for too long - and lack knowledge of how to run a business. There are some industry-leading educational benefits, but don't expect to be promoted you after you get a Masters/PhD.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
