Pros

Lunch is close to free, a Pro that I can tell.

Cons

Hardcore scientists left this boat one after another and the remaining folks are playing politician style pretending to be busy every day and appraising each other's nonsense on a daily base. Some people who managed to occupy leadership roles do not have a PhD and are dominating the direction of R&D. The pipeline is full of copycat programs from competitors and they call it INNOVATION.

Pros

Benefits are good and lunch is subsidized. There are interesting projects and smart people working on them, the work itself isn’t the problem.

Cons

Executive pay is disconnected from company performance. Chronic understaffing has created unsustainable workloads with no relief in sight, and work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. Execs have created a surveillance and monitoring culture that has undermined trust and psychological safety across the organization. For a company that claims to be an innovation and science leader, there is no dedicated head of research which raises real questions about where this company is actually headed. Strategy shifts constantly with little to no communication to the people keeping it afloat.
