Business Outlook

Pros

Exciting Science takes place here!

Cons

Managers/ Leaders conducts favoritism, racism without any fear or shame! They assign the high profile activities to their favorites regardless of their ability or work ethics. I was eager to learn new technologies all the time but I would be told by my manager that I don't have experience, hence, I can not work on that. But before my eyes I would see that the opportunities are going to pretty looking white girls/ boys regardless their experience or expertise! But my manager never saw a need for me to have experience with menial, tedious works! Also, I knew one very smart colored scientist would develop challenging methods and the author names would be assigned to the whites!
