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.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
