Pros

Great work envrionment. You can pretty much do whatever you want depending who your boss is. As long as you get work done. Lots of experience that work here. There are a lot of lifers that work here and there is a good reason why. The stability and work are always constant

Cons

Dead end career not much in advancement as a Lab Guy unless you know someone. The pay sucks but the type of work you do depends on how much you get compensated. Lab Techs are treated as the lowest of the low. Similar to the mililtary, we are considered the enlisted part of the company while engineers and management are the officers. Old timer attitudes, just because you have been working here for 30+ years doesn't mean you have to act like a prick.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
