Pros

People at non-management levels (e.g. senior scientists, scientists, RAs) were genuine and truly cared about science. It was a highly collaborative bunch who got the work done and done nicely. They were the smartest and most hard working people I’ve seen.

Cons

- 60% mass layoff without notice - projects get cut without a reason, after many months of hard work - long hours and weekends, don’t be surprised if some holiday hours are expected - HR lies, don’t believe all the things they say - promotion was a myth - toxic culture

Pros

Pay is great, most people are fun to be around. Has gotten better over the last year with the culture in the office.

Cons

Leadership choices can be awful and no outside life. I generally can say most people spend their time at work.
