Pros

Competitive wages 401K match (4%) Stipend for commuting Good work life balance

Cons

Culture varies drastically from team to team. If there are issues with upper management/bosses, employees have no support system to seek help and remedy issues. Some employee's work life balance comes at the expense of their coworkers. Repeatedly had to come in to work earlier or stay later to compensate for someone else. D&I felt like lip service as it often does at these big companies. Only those who are minorities were the ones involved. During pandemic, management made assumptions but never actually bothered to check if the assumptions were true and onus was on employees to deal with bosses regarding what they felt safe doing. Bonuses were cut for scientists who stayed in the lab throughout the pandemic, even though company made high profit.

Pros

Salary, bonus, profit sharing, benefits, people (peers)

Cons

You are viewed as dispensable at all times and disrespected regardless of how much experience you bring to the table. You are consistently asked to do the impossible and criticized when you don’t deliver. You are challenged to work without necessary budgets or resources to get the job done. You are a rock star when you deliver and treated as useless when you don’t, regardless of how many times you warn senior management that their ask is not possible
