Pros

Employment, weather, good location, Florida, better city

Cons

I see significant potential for enhanced technical progress, and fostering better collaboration among departments would be advantageous. As a scientific organization, it is crucial that employees are acknowledged and treated according to their expertise and qualifications, at least meeting the minimum standards; this would cultivate an excellent work environment for talented professionals. However, the existence of micromanagement and the lack of technical proficiency among upper management impede career advancement and overall job satisfaction. Additionally, appointing qualified individuals to their appropriate roles, rather than promoting based on favoritism while neglecting skills and knowledge, would greatly enhance the workplace. It is disheartening to witness such a large organization being led by a departmental head who is deficient in knowledge, skills, and the right mindset. Moreover, some managers seem to act merely as timekeepers for their employees instead of focusing on enhancing their knowledge and skills. The validation team is full of irregularities and dirty politics.

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

Adequate amount of PTO and suitable medical benefits and 401K. Co-workers were helpful and good resources when needed.

Cons

Difficult to receive promotions, as site GM, HR, and Global have to approve. No/very small annual increases. Departments need to hire additional support; again, difficult to get management and global to approve, thus a lot of turnover. Site directors/managers had conflicts between departments. Some would intentionally undermine other department heads if it suited their interest. Two directors have personal relationship, which seems to be conflict of interest.
