Pros

Great Company -Family oriented and very nice people. The pay is fair because they know you do not have to commute to Boston. The leader in LC and a leader in MS. Great company especially for Scientists.

Cons

The culture has begun to chance recently. It used to be individual contributors were considered as important as the management roles. Recent moves have focused on the upper 10% of management making the separation between middle management and director level even larger then before which has minimized the growth potential of managers. Recent changes in the working environment has even made the difference more profound.

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
