Pros

This is not to bash the company in a whole. You have a 40-60 chance of making it here. Especially if you're not a minority.

Cons

Let me start off by saying this is a review based on a overview of the entire organization of Enthalpy Analytical. They only hires non- minorities from NC State University. It is hundreds of other colleges in the state of North Carolina with science programs. Before they sold the company to Montrose in 2015 they only hired 4 minorities. They are very biased against minorities and women. They walk around like a warden in prison. If you get caught talking to a colleague you get in trouble. The Tobacco Department is very disrespectful to their lab technicians. The GC Department makes false promises they can't keep. If they move you up you don't get the pay with the promotion. Or they will hire a person straight out of college with no experience over you... Last but not least the (HPLC) Department has the highest turnover rate in the whole company. They are a real piece of work they are very biased against women and if they think that you are smarter than them they set you up for failure.

Pros

Company is highly adaptable. Maintains agility even though the company large. Upper management supports and encourages employee involvement.

Cons

Being a publicly traded company hinders some type of growth due to burdensome overhead.

Pros

Prior to our company's acquisition with MEG/Onterris, the company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and employees who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the business.

Cons

If your company has been acquired, pay close attention to employee reviews and take them seriously. I did, and many of the concerns raised turned out to be accurate. Employees were repeatedly assured that the acquisition would create new opportunities and that jobs were secure. In my experience, that was not the reality. Long-tenured employees were gradually pushed out while similar positions were later reposted with modified titles or responsibilities. The former ownership ultimately lost control of decisions despite assurances that little would change. Employees with years of institutional knowledge spent years implementing new procedures, documenting procedures, learning the new system, and navigating disorganized Workday implementations with minimal support. Much of the guidance consisted of being directed to read instructions on the intranet. If you are in a finance position they will let you go! They will tell you they want it all centralized in Arkansas but that's not true, there are plenty of people working remote but you will be pushed out no matter how long you've been with your company. This not only affected me but our entire team was wiped out. They didn't give us a heads up in advance to look for anything for 2 years we were told everyone was safe and I believed them. Keep an eye out for the constant restructuring of upper management as well.
