Pros

Development of product and services in an interesting and exciting field of research. Work/Life balance is ok.

Cons

A select few within the company are clear favorites while others are treated less than poorly. Loyalty is not rewarded, back stabbing and openly degrading comments are common from some in senior management positions which translates down to all groups. All at a very low salary level. I would recommend to stay away.

Pros

Good work/life balance. Some colleagues are very kind and friendly, and will go out of their way to help you.

Cons

Managers should be accessible and willing to help. Some managers have a habit of talking down to others, or treating others like they are unintelligent or less than. If conflicts arise, management should address those conflicts openly and promptly instead of assuming that they will work themselves out. Another thing I strongly disliked about this company was the abundance of rampant backstabbing - people talking about others behind their backs, and openly degrading and even using profanities about other employees.

Pros

Some friendly people, some free food, comes with benefits, there's an office dog

Cons

Low pay, no support for lower level research associates, do the same thing every day, no management training= poor management, high expectations but little to no mentorship or leadership, higher level positions are protected and excused for poor behavior and conduct, HR is not supportive of medium to low level employees, extremely high turnover, age discrimination to younger employees, little to no growth opportunities in both moving up titles and learning within your own position, bad leadership, inconsistent lunch and breaks if work does not demand you to skip both, insane hierarchy, no feedback, gaslighting, condescending, ill-mannered and manipulative higherups, toxic work environment.
