Pros

if you're a scientist, the potential is great - given lots of freedom to explore personal growth while on company time.

Cons

Very little emphasis placed on functions/organizations other than scientific. Lack of respect for those without advanced degrees, science degrees and the like. Dysfunction between organizations that can be paralyzing to getting things done Lots of 'legacy issues' - people, ways of doing things (project management, process, etc.) - not enough open minds to engage for forward thinking discussions and brainstorming.

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
