      Pros

      Nice Campus. Good 401K plan and paid vacation.

      Cons

      Benefits, bonuses and LTI diminishing year over year. The company has become a flat organization with very little opportunity for advancement unless you spend your time networking instead of doing a good job. This leads to incompetent people at higher positions that don't have the capabilities to effectively lead.

      Pros

      There is always new equipment to learn. There is usually money to do all experiments without worry. Since it was a big campus there was usually someone who could lend you ingredients. My colleagues were very smart and would teach what they knew. Generous layoff package, but lots of money wasted when items could have been sent to people who would need them.

      Cons

      Stress. There was stress about layoffs, little understanding on experiment planning and length from Management. Many perks were stopped at satellite sites, but not at the Mother-ship. The decision making process what shielded from the average employee. Gossip was rampant.
