Pros

Smart and innovative researchers work here. Lots of hard-working wonderful colleagues at Scientist, Associate Scientist, SRA and RA levels.

Cons

Lack of diversity especially in upper / senior management positions. Very few women and BIPOC in Director to C-level positions. We have lost quite a few exceptionally hard-working female and minority employees recently due to unfair promotion practices. Poor managers get rewarded with promotions even though most employees know it is because of nepotism and not due to merit. Bonus points to those who are white and extra bonus points if you are male. Company reorgs happen with very little notice leaving the affected employees scrambling to pick up the pieces and plan on the fly.

Pros

The team I worked on was cohesive and we worked really well together, supporting one another and filling in when people needed help.

Cons

Horrible mismanagement of money and terrible at planning. Plans would be made, money would be spent to start rollout of plans only to have the plans change, stopping everything and wasting money. This led to multiple rounds of layoffs, reducing the company to less than half the employees it had at its peak.
