A Science and Technology Superpower
Pros
- Get to work with the smartest people in the world. - Every day is a new challenge to work on and support some of the coolest research in the country. - The mission is to "apply science and technology into innovations that have a positive impact on the world." So, there is a great feeling of accomplishment in supporting that mission when we deliver world-changing technologies. Which we just did today! - Battelle matches your charitable donations to your favorite non-profits. - 90/80 work week, so most of us get every other Friday off. - A commitment to diversity, curiosity and collaboration is baked into our culture of solving the world's greatest challenges. - Our CEO and the leadership team live the values of the company and are approachable, they listen and are super supportive.
Cons
- When you are supporting this level of technical work, it can be demanding, but you never get bored either. - If you aren't comfortable with constant change, which is the nature of R&D, it can be hard to get used to. I learned to flex to the work, but it took some time. Now I couldnt' imagine working anywhere else.
