Pros
- The people are top notch and by in large down to earth. It is an extremely friendly place. - The retirement benefits are fantastic (pension after 5 years of service, corporate match of 401k) - The resources are tremendous. What might take months to accomplish in an academic lab take weeks or days here.
Kontras
- Upper management is constantly changing the organizational structure. In the last 5 years, there have been nearly 4 large re-orgs that have severly hampered productivity. - We are not allowed to express our creativity here. Things are done using a "cookie-cutter" approach that is mind-numbing. - The politics (esp. among upper management) are pervasive and extremely counter-productive. - Goals are constantly being changed with none achieved.
