Pros

Smart colleagues and interesting customers to partner and collaborate with on scientific advances. Fairly relaxed culture - not a great deal of pressure.

Cons

Very much an boys club with a great deal of emphasis placed on being one of the guys. No apparent meritocracy at upper levels of the company - promotions seem to be based on who you know rather than results or sustained performance.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
