Business outlook
Pros
Great environment for working easily and closely with great technical people. Innovation is encouraged and rewarded. Excellent technical depth and teaming possibilities in several niche areas.
Cons
Business processes, while currently being revised, are still clunky at best. Lawyers, corporate, and business offices still not flexible and responsive. High laboratory costs passed to clients in extremely high labor rates, making Battelle technical staff too expensive and so non-competitive when bidding against R&D contractors without these overhead burdens. This is being addressed by management, but at a glacial pace.
