      Misleading

      Senior scientist ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Variable company culture between groups lets you find friends anywhere, and there are true gems of groups hidden about. If you strike upon one of these, it reads like many of the positive reviews.

      Cons

      I was catfished with my role only scantly matching what was promised. With the internal promotion system stagnant and opportunities for cross-training slim (if not openly discouraged within my own group), it is neither a place for professional growth or scientific curiosity. Finally, I witnessed several acts of bullying and sexism followed quickly by jokes about "being written up by HR".

      Extremely toxic and useless place to work at

      Senior business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nothing. None absolutely. Everything from salary to seniors are worse.

      Cons

      European Stakeholders treat associates like slaves. No respect at all. Senior members in the team only exist to play politics and lecture the new team members. Unnecessary toxicity and domination exerted. We have to fill 3 different time sheets everyday. No career growth. You do the same thing on excel every month. No scope for learning anything.
