      Severely overwork their technical staff to pay for way too many support/ G&A staff

      Pros

      -its a job (it is a tough market out there) -pretty solid benefits (still have a pension in addition to 401k)

      Cons

      In a word: incompetent. Inability to contain costs results in staff being tasked to do the impossible with minimal resources and to get it done by yesterday... I should also mention that this company will not hesitate to throw you out with the trash the second they hit a slow period.

      Pros

      Battelle does very interesting and unique work. As a scientist who does not want to do lab work I love my job.

      Cons

      Even in the few years I'll been at Battelle I've seen some pretty bad changes. 1. We used to have unlimited sick days which is great if you have health issues. Battelle now has a PTO system (we have a set number of days off which includes holidays, sick and vacation). When you do the math we now have the equivalent of sick two days, after that it eats into your vacation. This drastically dropped moral. Other contractors' PTO system is much more generous. 2. The recognition and compensation system is not set up for analysts, so even if you are brilliant at your job it will only increase your raise a few tenths of a percent. I could write a whole essay on this. 3. I don't have much contact with Battelle. I like that my managers don't micromanage but it sometimes feels like I have to play the role of assistant project manager in addition to my role as an analyst because my PM is MIA. 4. I could get paid more elsewhere.
