      Pros

      Nice Coworkers. Other then that, not else.

      Cons

      Lousy pay and lousy culture. The company is top heavy with senior management most of whom don't care whats actually happening in the labs and lower management who are largely recycled from eliminated positions. I've been there for 4 years and of the 4 lab managers in my department 2 have been removed (not fired) because of abusive practices. Whats more, since they are mostly recycled, they are rarely a good fit. I can say without any qualms that this is the worst run organization I have ever seen and by all means stay away unless you are desperate.

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule, no weekends, no holidays. Interesting work, with unusual culture types. Coworkers friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Retirement benefits okay for small company.

      Cons

      The low rating for this company and the negative comments are not the result of disgruntle employees. After working at ATCC for 4 years, I have to say the company earned those comments and ratings. For the most part people who work there enjoy the work and their coworkers. But there is no opportunity for advancement. Pay is low end of the scale. The morale of the company is very low and management does not care. Policies and procedures are changed by people who don't understand process and those who do understand are left out of loop. When people ask me what its like to work at ATCC I tell them its like living behind the Iron Curtain. Say something that management didn't like and boom, you are removed by the KGB. Management says open door, but people who do ask questions or disagree with management often just disappear.

      Disappointing and distant

      Pros

      Convenient Manassas location, good benefits

      Cons

      Management doesn't appreciate the employees - feels like they look down their noses at rank and file. HR does not support employees - unapproachable.
