Pros

good resume builder, but thats about it. Nothing else is good about this company as you can tell from all the negative reviews. Please trust the negative reviews.

Cons

This company will pay you pennies and they tend to hire people with little experience just so they can pay you pennies. If you are new to the field, I can guarantee you that you find better paying companies with better learning experience. Honestly nothing much to learn here, all they care about is profit. If you make the company lose money upper management becomes very toxic. IF you talk to any other department about your problems, it is also prohibited. There is no teamwork here, everything is just super unorganized and not much of a system. Department managers are very toxic, you have to be a "yes man" to get by. Upper management likes to talk in their own foreign language and favoritism is a huge thing. IF they like you and if you are a yes man they will promote you quick. Promotion is not about your contribution it is whether or not upper management like you or not. When you get promoted other project managers starts having evil eye, they will give you horrible training. One in particular would tell you do a task but doesn't explain or train you on communication, rather he would make you feel like you're useless. Then calls you out on your flaws in front of all your department colleagues. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. When you mention about the poor training you're getting to the supervisor, they do nothing because upper managements are all friends. CEO and HR doesn't do anything to make work place more professional. CEO only care of profits and also favor his Chinese long time employees over anyone else. Hence the high employee turnover.

Pros

-The scientist here are really nice people making collaboration and working here really enjoyable -I've heard stories of other managers being very demanding, but my group's manager was really understanding, and a nice person in general -From the time that I have started I have seen a raise in benefits, company growth as well as our individual team grow in numbers -The scheduling is somewhat flexible, if you need to early then it is granted, however take care to not abuse it -Support international hires -Coffee machine present, and free snacks from time to time -Company happy hour from time to time -Different age groups, good mix of young and older scientist

Cons

-When I was hired on-board there wasn't a standard training session, so a lot of people had different methods to accomplish something, which caused confusion -There are bonuses which are nice, but there isn't a transparent way of how the bonuses are rewarded and in terms of base salary I believe it is a bit on the lower side, and they don't offer raises automatically unless you ask for it -There isn't a high learning curve for people who want to learn more -There was an issue of air quality at one of the locations, and belmont location doesn't have A/C
