Materials Modification Reviews

It is disheartening to read this review, but all candidates should read all reviews to make a judgment and take the opportunity to come and visit with the people prior to joining. All employees have had the opportunity to speak openly at the pizza lunches or Friday lunches openly and offer suggestions for improvement. Clearly, this employee chose not to do that and offered a very negative view of the people and environment and hid under anonymity. Sometimes people who have not worked in companies previously and have been associated with universities cannot find the deadline-driven business environment conducive. One has to be self-motivated to work by themselves with guidance. The recommendation is unjust and unfair considering that numerous employees, over 100 of them, have worked between 2-16 years, depending on their personal situations. Several have moved because of their career changes or spousal requirements, and many are still in touch and seek references as they move from jobs. One person’s review should not be the decider based on all others who have contributed and succeeded in numerous projects they worked on, including the rewards of publication, which helped their resumes going forward. In a small business, everybody has to do small things for a social environment to thrive, and it is sad that employee looks at things negatively rather than the positive things they learned about a small business.

The benefit of any research job is the ability to be continuously challenged and learn new things every day. Some thrive in it some cannot stand it. It is the nature of every job, and each one, through self-awakening, finds out what they enjoy and want out of a working environment and people.
