Pros

Work for a company that's a pioneer of a very cool technology with broad applications that advance research and actually improve lives. Strong brand equity and recognition. Opportunity to work with some genuinely good and intelligent people. Compensation is generous.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company culture is toxic due to a particular individual that is a bully. This person's behavior creates an unwelcoming and difficult environment. The company has experienced a lot of turnover (people quitting) in the last few years primarily due to this individual. Unfortunately, company leadership has allowed this person to run rampant. The lack of clear direction from leadership has led the company’s technology to fall behind in a market they pioneered and created.

Pros

-Laid back atmosphere. -Coworkers are mostly friendly but of questionable intelligence. Many individuals are very passive aggressive for trite reasons. -Good work/life balance. No one cares if you mess up, either. -PTO is acceptable compared to similar companies.

Cons

-Some lab equipment outdated; depends what team you work on. -Unnecessarily competitive environment; it’s lab vs. lab or team vs. team. Constantly fighting for space or resources with zero resolution. Management is ambivalent toward this, so get it in your head now that nothing will change. Space is extremely limited at this location. Expect to constantly bump into people physically due to poor building layout. -You are, or will be, in a predicament or quagmire of sorts if you do not have a PhD and expect to move up. Or, more importantly, you won’t ever be taken seriously. -Pay is considerably lower than market value for a wide number of roles. -Health insurance is awful. Absolutely unacceptable compared to other companies. -Weekend work.

Pros

I had the opportunity to work with some truly wonderful, talented people throughout my tenure

Cons

As a previous reviewer noted, there is a specific person who made the place unbearable. This person's unprofessional behavior directly lead to the resignation of several people. Outside of that, there was poor interdepartmental communication and little direction provided by upper management. As a result, the company was passed by its competitors. Pay was also subpar.
