Too corporate

Pros

The salaries are good compared to other companies in the area and there are weekend bonus hours which are great. People who work here are generally younger depending on what department you are in. free breakfast on fridays and cheap prices in the cafeteria. Great PTO policy.

Cons

Very corporate and not a cool company as they try to portray in orientation. There is someone always breathing down your back and the guy in charge sets the precedent by sending emails spying on people and mentioning it as a lesson in the email. To elaborate the director spent a day watching a piece of garbage on the sidewalk and took photos of people walking by who didn't pick it up and sent a company wide email. Petty is an understatement. This makes the leadership of this company really intense and not a fun company to work for.

Great potential, with growing pains...

Pros

Science really does drive the company culture. Good work-life balance if you make it. Nice every day perks. Lots of growth over all and exciting prospects.

Cons

The company has had explosive growth in the last few years. Lots of new hires and promotions, especially to management level positions. However, it doesn't seem like managers get appropriate or adequate training in how to actually manage a team. A good scientist doesn't always make a good manager. Favoritism is rampant in my department and people aren't used to their full potential. Another problem with the growth is that we are desperately trying to keep a "startup" culture and flat management structure. That isn't practical when there are more associate directors than people doing the work... The extreme focus on science can lead to deficiencies in other teams, such as HR, legal, IT, ect. Another review mentioned ineffective HR, and that has also been my experience. We are a multi-billion dollar company without basic HR policies for some common "hairy situations." Pay seems competitive but other benefits such as parental leave, 401k, and insurance can lag behind industry standard.
