Pros

I worked at Battelle for 3 years and it’s been a rough ride. I joined a year before the “big flush” of early 2018 when about 500 staff were exited or left on their own. Leadership was steady and strong, with a strong positive direction. Then in March 2018, recently hired leadership from defense contractors in DC said the company doesn’t know what it should be focused on and decimated the staff. A year after that and I had quite enough of those arrogant “leaders”. The job market is fantastic and I was easily recruited out.

Cons

It’s not beneficial to me to detail the nonsense happening at Battelle, and their leadership is too busy micromanaging or sucking up to stay alive to care.
