      a company in decline, rotting from the inside

      Lead chemist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      the salary is good, flexible work hours. for almost any engineering or scientific challenge, there's an expert somewhere at the company you can contact for advice. there's true commitment to GBLT equality.

      Cons

      Management is terrible - bad decisions at all levels, they just don't know how to run an organization or lead people... they're just out of touch administrators at all levels. Management turnover (a new boss every other year) cripples the company. Politics, politics, politics... it's not a meritocracy. Performance management (rank and yank) is corrosive. All the good people are leaving for other companies, or retiring. Constant fear of layoffs. They hire in lots of kids out of school every year, but fire the experienced people. There's almost no mobility inside the company (despite what the old timers will tell you) unless you're in management.

      Inclusive company with global opportunities if you are willing to relocate

      Pros

      Willing to listen to ideas - the management I have worked with have been fair and inclusive with an open door policy.

      Cons

      Grading system on a bell curve can be challenging because somebody has to be graded at the bottom and somebody at the top. Even if the actual performance diffferences are small or arbitary.
