Pros

Many employees want to do well and are great colleagues. Benefits are about the middle of the road. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

New leadership doesn't seem to care about well being of employees, although very strong on physical safety. Few formal development opportunities, little chance for promotion. A lot of good talent is leaving and the organization is being told everything is great. Little empowerment for leaders. Employees are either frustrated or just going through the motions.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
