Pros

Friendly atmosphere, sociable colleagues, and small "tech campus" perks like a partially-subsidized cafe, cereal bar, soda fountain, and attractive nooks/dining areas/patio. Good work/life balance on my team.

Cons

As of 2020, remarkably poor pay for the content/records/history side of the company and iffy job security on the tech and DNA side of the company, position stagnation

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
