Pluspunten

Once you impress the right people, you kind of float by doing the bare minimum and folks will smile at you and form a general consensus that baby, you've got talent! If you paste on a fake smile and a bubbly attitude and don't let anything bug you, you'll do just fine. It's a brownnoser's paradise. Decent diversity and inclusion efforts at all research facilities, especially Stamford. Good work/life balance for those that work; even better for those that don't really do anything! Base compensation was improved in recent years but still falls on the low end of average.

Minpunten

The concept of change is terrifying to most, and several people are okay just sitting in their sad little cubicles rotting away for the entirety of their careers. People are generally extremely unhappy but afraid to speak up outside of their own little cliques which forms a toxic environment for those on the sidelines. The same lazy people will quickly throw you under the bus if you succeed. Technology Solutions GBU never really integrated or recovered after Solvay acquisition largely due to extremely misguided upper management. Low innovation level and boring projects led with a haphazard sense of urgency cause burnout and boredom simultaneously.

Pluspunten

Great benefits overall when it comes to medical, 401k match and other benefits.

Minpunten

Work load and the department has very high expectations for this job. It's almost like an account manager/ customer service roll.

Pluspunten

I have no pros that I can think of

Minpunten

I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
