Pluspunten

The job paid pretty well, as compared to other companies for the same position. No micro-managing. They were up-front with me regarding the lack of any advancement opportunities and the possibility of infrequent travel.

Minpunten

Work/life balance issues. Taking time off for things that cannot be avoided like specialist appointments for children counts against you. Taking time off for vacation was frowned upon, even though you would lose it if you didn't use it up. I never went beyond my allotted time-off, and I always followed company policy, but somehow it came up during review time. The administrative staff were constantly fighting amongst themselves, often in an unprofessional manor. Management was well aware of it, but wouldn't do anything about it.

Pluspunten

Diverse work, intelligent and ambitious colleagues, above average compensation package for newly minted PhDs. Giving 2 stars simply because of these perks.

Minpunten

Extremely poor work/life balance, high pressure on billable hours/utilization, cutthroat/burn-and-churn culture, weak management, poor mentorship opportunities (didn't feel inspired by many leaders), sink-or-swim onboarding (I think this has changed a little since I left), ton of gatekeeping around promotions, and worst of all.... there's very little humanity present in the culture. Almost everyone I knew didn't fundamentally feel as if their office, practice, and/or manager cared about them as a human. Bad managers get promoted so long as they're revenue generating. I would not recommend this company to be a person's first choice.
