Pros

The wealth of knowledge among the senior engineers. Pretty relaxed and there is always plenty of things to learn. I never once felt that the senior engineers were holding back information from me. I could always go to someone who would take the time to guide me.

Cons

Little opportunity to advance. Some how deadwood manages to find themselves in high position. Management is sometimes loaded down with incompetent people making decisions for competent engineers. Too many "yes" men at the top of the company. The pay is below average when compared to other companies in the area. The bonus program is consistently changing to minimize payouts to its employees.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
