Pros

You get to work with intelligent scientists who are fantastic!

Cons

Low pay for the area. Science company run by..... people who seemingly know nothing about science. Upper management is awful. HR is an absolute joke and a disaster. Supervisors are not listened to when they are the ones leading the people doing the actual work. Everyone is looking for new jobs (myself included).

Pros

Stable company with moderate growth. Little to no uncertainty as to whether or not ATCC will be there in 5/10/20 years. Promotion from within is a big part of their model.

Cons

-This is probably not global, but my experience with my immediate supervisor was very negative. They clearly wanted a mini-me rather than an independently working team member. - Some poorly-imagined positions have terrible turnover and the exiting employees are blamed. Red flag. -Company does not invest enough in quality - not enough staff to support operations. I found myself chasing quality folks a lot. -Re-design of MD facility was truly a joke and made getting work done incredibly hard on-site.
