Pros

Good benefits, nothing else. No growth potential, unless your rat your colleagues out , which is what the majority of the employees does.

Cons

Poor management, total incompetence, departments work against each other, hating each other and competing. Two major layoffs in the past two years, no regard or respects for employees whatsoever. People get thrown out in the street like dogs after 25 years of loyal service. Only HR does not get affected, although the entire department is too large, too incompetent and damn lazy. Employees who were chosen to be let go were caught by hand at the entrance in the AM, dragged into a conference room next to the lobby and thrown out without being able to pack their stuff or say good-byes to co-workers. The way upper management treats people is unheard of! No wonder, the company is sinking and losing business.

Pros

-Meaningful research mission -Feels like a startup with high level of responsibility in early career -Everyone leaves right at 5pm, so work/life balance is great

Cons

-Company cares only about tenure; merit-based raises are extremely hard to come by -Very little communication from HR about performance evaluations, COL increases, or raises; managers never seem to know anything -Poor career advancement and growth and pay is already not great -Team dynamics depend entirely on managers who lack basic project management skills -Without a budget for happy hours, people do not connect outside of work
