Good starting point, but toxic culture and no growth.

Associate scientist ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a good starting point in the industry.

Cons

It is a good introduction into the industry, but it's not good for a long-term career. Get your foot in the door and then leave as soon as you build up some experience because the pay here is lower than industry standard so the best way to get a raise is to go somewhere else. There is little room for advancement. You will be hired for a specific role and pretty much forced to stay there because they don't want to hire enough people. Your workload will be too high to be able to learn and perform other tasks. The culture is toxic, consisting of insincere positivity and platitudes. They prefer the appearance of harmony by covering up and silencing concerns over addressing concerns to actually achieve harmony.
