Challenging work, limited recognition. - Scientist I Meso Scale Diagnostics Employee Review

Pros

The work is challenging and the entry- to mid-level employees are very nice and easy to work with. Very diverse workforce. Given a great deal of responsibility early on. Company has been in a constant state of growth for some time. The company's technology and standing in the industry are sound. Company takes pride in the products and services it develops.

Cons

Changes to standard approaches are not easy to implement in many departments. There's a culture of too much oversight which hedges on micromanagement. Company does a poor job recognizing and rewarding the accomplishments of their employees. May lead some to feel underappreciated. This has improved somewhat over the past 2 years, but there is a lot of ground to cover. The pitifully limited vacation time is an atrocity.

Pros

I get to eat outside when its warm and the free coffee is decent I guess.

Cons

1. The building is designed like a psychiatric ward. There are no windows and there is no decor on the walls. CEO doesn't like when we put things on the walls. Really weird. 2. Management is just not good. They don't understand HIPPA or employee privacy; additionally they lack empathy. 3. Safety is not safe at all. they treat their job like they are supposed to micromanage and nitpick certain individuals on the first floor but people on the second floor walk around wearing no PPE. 4. Management cannot handle any level of push back. If the boss says the sky is blue and you say no I think its cyan, youre fired the next day. They LOVE to fire people for pushback but let people who treat people nasty hang around. 5. The roaches....thats the comment 6. Just a little bit of racist energy and its not good. They dont appreciate black workers and it shows blatantly STAY AWAY. 7. PTO sucks. 8. Unless you are outside of a minority group, there is a ceiling and you will reach it quickly. No room for upward mobility if you dont bear the color they desire.
