Depending on where you come from , the traffic is challenging for some, but can be improved with a flexible schedule. Building Management is working to improve traffic flow on the surrounding roads.

Pros

Everybody was very passionate about what they do- R&D team. Work hard, play hard. Best Scientific minds in one place. Loved working with everybody. One big family with passion for science. Flexible working conditions but everybody was very accountable for what they have to deliver

Cons

Most Senior Management way above mewas leading a rather ambiguous strategy in Analytical Science. First they were selling by the product, then by sector, then back by the product. I had 5 bosses within 3 years. Endless change of strategy and redundancies at the higher level. Bit like observing them going in the loops. H&R Management was an absolute disaster at that time only one was really effective and kind.
