Pros

Decent pay and benefits, room for growth, good job security (because of high demands and low man power), challenging work, and really smart people.

Cons

A lot of overtime and working weekends are required. Terrible work life balance. Managers come in late, leave early, and are hands off. Work is expected while on PTO. Leadership asks a lot of it's employees yet doesn't hold itself to the same high standards of hard work, long hours, and high stress. Favoritism in promotions encourages a cutthroat and manipulative environment. Leadership is ignorant to miserable employees, low morale, and unrealistic expectations.

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
