Pros

Flexibility - but that depends on if have one of the good managers. And you'll get paid on time....hopefully. Coworkers on your level are friendly...for the most part. That's it.

Cons

Diversity is non-existent from department managers up to senior management. Sr management have programs in place to make it seem like they care about it, but it's all for PR. Lack of career growth and no clear pathway to progress. You will stagnate for years in one position getting the same pay while insreasingly having more workload and responsibilities (and other people's jobs) thrown at you. Empty promises from management. Pay is way too low for the kind of work that is performed. Especially given that it's specialized skills that is required to perform the jobs at hand. Toxic work environment in some departments. Some people work out of fear and the supervisor and manager treats them like they are garbage. It's clear management doesn't care about their current employees, rather they are focused on acquiring other labs and expanding the business that way. They have bonuses set up for employees but in order to achieve this you have to overwork yourself to surpass the budget, then the bonus is not even enough for a family dinner. Again, PR move by management.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
