      Extreme fear of failure

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of good scientists to learn from. Large company with many internal resources.

      Cons

      Culture of extreme fear of failure drastically affects innovation. Company is slow to adopt the new. Seems to always be jumping in late and playing catch up. Org structure is very flat and advancement is next to impossible. Requirements for advancement are exceptionally uneven across the company. The quality of middle management is highly variable. Very difficult to find the keys to success unless you happen to have a strong middle manager.
