People play games and lie to you

Pros

Great installations, great cafeteria. They have scientific events and guests.

Cons

They lure people to work in the lab and promise job stability-- when all along they planned to hire people for only one year term. Very despicable!. They lay off people without severance, not extra pay, nothing! On top, they do it in a very humiliating way by making you sign that "you agree to leave." People pretend they are nice, but they will play games just to keep themselves employed. They hired and lie that not for short-time, but longer term. After a year they lie about budget cuts and other none sense. In other words, management pretends to be nice, and praise you for your great work, and then let you go with no real explanation and bunch of lies. Very unethical if you ask me.
