Pros

The connections that can be made and the doors that can be opened by being employed by Battelle are too numerous to pass up. The largest and most extensive benefit package anywhere.

Cons

There is a large corporate disconnect between the general staff and the senior administration. Battelle used to have high job security, but the economy has finally caught up with the largest non-profit organization. All branches are typically paid at scales based on costs of living in Columbus, Ohio. This is ok for the city of the headquarters, but in locations like the DC-MD area, then the pay is half of what is should be.

Battelle overall is a decent place to work.

Pros

Easy to speak with management. Encourages professional growth. Allows employees to be flexible with their time if needed. Offers raises and bonus opportunities when you're a good employee.

Cons

They're primarily a contractor for the government, so if contracts are not being won, then you may have to worry about your job. The bulk of the jobs are in Columbus, OH, so if your regional office gets closed or if you have to relocate, it may not be the place for you.
