      They've lost their way

      Pros

      Over decades, Battelle earned a solid reputation for providing thoughtful and creative problem solving to the most challenging problems of national significance. They attracted and retained fantastic employees across many different scientific domain areas, and the cross-disciplinary problem solving capabilities were (at one time) world class.

      Cons

      Recent changes to leadership have led to Battelle losing sight of its mission, and its value proposition. They value the bottom line financials above their loyal and talented employees - and many of the best/brightest scientific and people leaders have either left voluntarily, or have had their positions eliminated.

      Pros

      Pay is average based on my location. They recently added a flexible work schedule where you can work 80h in 9 days and take alternating Fridays off, though if you're working on a contract for them, that schedule doesn't apply to you.

      Cons

      Benefits are cut every year and have been since about 2014. We've had 4 days of PTO taken away in the last 12 months. Health insurance is nothing to write home about. It's expensive and doesn't cover what it should for the cost. The health benefits have been weakening for years now. I can't speak for non-contractors but if you're working on a contract for them, you're a paycheck to them and nothing more.

      Unfair to new employees

      Pros

      Decent pay for the amount of work you do.

      Cons

      New employees are not treated the same. Some are fast tracked through training while others languish in one step of training for weeks. Upper management does not seem to care. It seems to be chemists who are older than 45 who are left to languish. If you fall into that category and are being hired as an analyst, you've been warned. If you hire in as a technician, there is a different lead trainer who seems to treat everyone equally.
