Tell me your name, I'll tell you the policy

Pros

Make good networking connections with very educated and interesting people. In personal crisis, coworkers are very supportive.

Cons

Working at Battelle is all about whom you know. Tell me your name, I’ll tell you the policy runs rampant through the company. Used to have a great benefits package... it is rapidly declining. Pays executives and management exorbitant amounts of money – even when they do not perform. Moral is extremely low. Forecasting and money management is lacking. Many layoffs recently took place. Now management sees those positions were necessary and is rehiring. Recent switch to PTO and reduction in pension extremely disappointing.

Pros

Battelle possesses unparalleled depth and breadth of science and technology. Battelle is very skilled at integrating science and technology that results in innovative technology and product solutions for its clients.

Cons

Battelle is not market facing, with a few exceptions. As a result, Battelle's knowledge of the markets it serves is somewhat limited. This limited understanding presents significant management challenges. On the financial side, as a 501(c)(3), Battelle cannot offer equity compensation.
