      Pros

      Creative, interesting, and important work

      Cons

      I spent the last 3 - 4 years at Battelle under duress. With the advent of the new CEO, management quite suddenly became overbearing, adversarial, and confrontational. Workers started disappearing without any announcement, and conversely new 22 yr old kids would just show up again, without any notice. My office was like a morgue full of walking dead. If they plan to let you go, they beat you up over breaches of policy (or just make stuff up) for years to get leverage, then they 'RIF' you with a generous severance package that you receive only by signing a no-fault waiver.I was finally terminated after so much damaging stress, and now life is good.

      Went from bare bones staff to hacking at the bone to get the marrow.

      Pros

      Absolutely nothing good about working here. Maybe the fact that there is ample parking now that almost everyone has voluntarily retired, resigned, quit, died, or been laid off.

      Cons

      Everything is bad with this company. Have lost over half the employees, and almost all the knowledge and talent, in the last 2 years and the place is barely keeping the lights on. Will be out of business in 5 years.

      Had the opportunity to return for the nearly double my current salary and declined.......The company is doomed to die!

      Pros

      Diverse work opportunity...when the work is actually available! Technical staff is the backbone of the company, yet they get no support or recognition. Great place to learn to screw the feds out of money. Want to see a VP, just turn around. As they have nothing to do, they are everywhere!

      Cons

      Used to be a great research institution now just a self important management company. Want to get ahead, stab your friend in the back and use them as a stepping stone. Got a military background...we'll creat a VP position for you.
