Pros

Great for fresh grads to break into the field as well as researchers heading toward retirement. For those in-between who seek growth, seek elsewhere.

Cons

Retention and compensation problems exist. Politics are apparent and favoritism blatant. Leadership not very accountable and the company is constantly losing exceptional talent (and many with latent potential) due to high turnover - salaries are not very competitive and toxic behavior is often overlooked. Ownership with ideas and technology are issues as I have seen Directors and their respective teams take ownership of others' innovative ideas and achievements. Recognition is non-existent or at times, extremely lagging.

Pros

Great benefits, fantastic people, great managers, work from home available, very nice offices/facility

Cons

There is no such thing as working 40 hours for your salary, at minimum 50 but usually 60. Work almost every night and most weekends to meet insane deadlines. Burnout is high. No work-life balance.

Pros

Compensation package is nice if you can cope with the hypocrisy

Cons

Work/Life Balance Terrible! Promotes "Respect for People" but Leaderships continually disrespectful to all employees.
