      Pros

      Decent Worklife balance (40-50 hrs a week, no crunch-times) Professional, kind, and diverse workforce Good pay and benefits (mostly) Career advancement does exist Loyalty to the company seems to be rewarded Volunteer opportunities are available Career-related training is provided

      Cons

      Workpalce Safety and regulation is at a bare minimum to be legally compliant Career advancement path seems uncertain and non-linear High amount of bureaucratic and administrative work for a scientist (boring) Not a lot of vacation days - seems to be the absolute minimum. You have to work for the company for 5 years in order to get the time off that is standard for many other companies from day 1.

      Pros

      -People here are great, I made friendships that go beyond the job. -The benefits are pretty good, employee contributions are on the lower end. I also appreciate the PTO day for community service and the fitness reimbursement plan. -I love the employee events like birthday treats (when they still had them) and the holiday party

      Cons

      -There is little to no internal promotion opportunities anymore. When roles have opened up, they have gone to external candidates, or they bring someone in from the location in Europe. -Patchy communications from corporate, as well as corporate boasting the record-breaking profits on the internet, and then our bonuses would get cut - left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. -Salaries are pretty frugal -Senior management seem to be in a micromanagement mindset and caring about the wrong things -HR and management have made some bad choices when it comes to employees lately that I don't agree with
