Pros

Interesting ideas. Trying to do something good.

Cons

Toxic work culture. Lack of execution. Quality is the last priority, and it shows with time. Customers do not return. Products do not last more than a year, if six months. The majority of the original team, original business units, original connection to the missions is all gone. I can speak most directly about the microbial products since that is the group I worked with. An embarrassing mess. Poor management, organization, handling of the science that makes me sad, full of pain, disappointed. A problem is the some of the people are really good, or have good resumes, that would make you think they would do better. However it is chaotic and a bad work environment. Cut the data to look good, skip corners, who cares about contamination, product out the door at all cost. If you come from a good background and want to feel gaslit, come work here. The microbiology/ R&D, "Quality", Manufacturing business unit is a mess - stay away.

Cons

Sickness grace isn’t the best

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
