Pros

At one point, this company had a lot going for it. The people made the job worth staying for, and there was a sense of teamwork and pride. The benefits were acceptable, and things felt stable. Sadly, much of that has been lost in 2025.

Cons

The company culture took a major hit in 2025. Teams were eliminated without realistic plans to cover the work, but expectations stayed the same. Working 60-hour weeks became the norm just to keep up, while senior leaders post photos of themselves drinking at conferences on Linked In. Micromanagement was constant and comes from every direction, upper management and lab-level management. You’d be watched so closely that it was hard to do your job efficiently or independently, and there was very little trust. Benefits costed more than they’re worth, and new systems were rolled out before they were ready, which just created more work and frustration. Despite the constant talk about “culture,” there was little real appreciation, no bonus, just company wide email blasts saying “thanks for all you do - work harder so we get our stocks up.” Everyone was burnt out and exhausted. It felt like fighting for your job every day and it was horrible. This job severely affected mental and physical health due to being toxic, and poor leadership. I would run fast if you want to work here in 2026 in the office side of the company. They don’t care about you

Pros

Awesome company with plenty of opportunities to get grow and learn. The Hiring process and training environment was great. You definitely feel like part of a team and feel like any concerns you have no matter the department will be addressed.

Cons

I honestly do not have any cons. This is a traveling career so if that is not for you just be aware of that.

Pros

- Long-term stability - Option to work remote depending on job - Can stay contained within a small team for more efficient work despite overarching corporate atmosphere (also job dependent) - Lots of good, honest, hardworking people there

Cons

- Leadership can feel disconnected, uninformed, and tone-deaf with decision-making surrounding products, teams, and messaging - Stagnant pay scale, no real ladder to climb with benchmarks and consistent pay increases - Inefficient communication and operation between cross-functional teams, leads to more friction working internally than it should
