Pros
Stable job at a fiscally responsible company that doesn't knee-jerk react to every blowing wind of the market. Good work/life balance. Recently benefitted from their updated Maternity/Paternity Leave policy, which was incredibly helpful during a busy time. Historically, opportunities to transfer departments and develop skills in a variety of areas. Worthwhile mission that contributes to the greater science community.
Cons
Old company that sometimes has antiquated systems or processes. This can cause less efficiency in communicating and getting work done. The combination between a tumultuous time for the Life Sciences industry, and personnel changes in the company's leadership team caused a level of uncertainty and change for many over the past 1.5 yrs. Like many US based companies, ATCC needs to build out a more robust career track for individual contributors in the science division that does not include a management component.
