Pros

- Excellent group interdisciplinary domain leadership. - Culture is of honesty, and compassion. - Innovative technology and excellent potential.

Cons

- Lack of upper level leadership. Dictatorship with no experience in production based products. - Leadership does not understand the difference between a science experiment and a product. - Leadership discounts the expertise of workers. - Does not offer competitive Pay, thus will never be able to hire or retain top talent. TC is typically half of what is offered in other companies. -
