Pros

For most positions, the pay is great. However, I noticed their recent job posting for a Data Reviewer has a maximum salary that's $20K less than what I currently make, and my negotiated salary was already on the lower end of the range. On the upside, the free snacks and lunch are nice perks, though they've been significantly scaled back since I started due to business reasons. Great potential mentors and friends. I had great opportunities to ask questions from scientists to learn more than just simply do you job.

Cons

Communication between teams can be challenging, though it is gradually improving. However, there's a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times it feels like high school drama. According to HR, arriving 5 to 10 minutes late is viewed more negatively than consistently working beyond an 8-hour day. Gas lighting is also very common.

Pros

Nothing but nice and kind people all over the place, most of who are pulling everyday to do their best. Plenty of little perks throughout the work experience that make the negatives more manageable, with social activities, paid lunches, snacks, good outdoor facilities, etc.

Cons

There has been a definite uptick in frustrations recently in my time here. Aggressive push for speed sometimes results in feelings of not being able to give full quality work towards problems, which is a shame as many new systems are having to go into place at once with the new facility and are sometimes setting poor precedents. Pathways for career growth are still very much so underdeveloped and lead to confusing overlap between new department positions and uncertainty of role futures. Unrealistic timelines push many to have very poor work life balance in order to keep projects afloat.

Poor professionalism from management, retaliatory managers, racism in the workplace, harassment - too many “isms” being swept under the rug, leadership needs a revamp as a lot are no longer effective especially in manufacturing, not many opportunities to advance in career
