Pros

The lab staff work well together and the pay is decent.

Cons

There aren't a lot of lab staff left. Between layoffs early this year and a large number of lab staff quitting in the subsequent months there aren't enough staff to do the work expected. Everyone remaining is overworked and most are actively seeking other employment. Employee attrition is largely due to frustrations over mismanagement at the highest levels. This has only be exasperated by a new CSO intent on micromanagement and incapable of hearing even basic information from her employees. So far only remote personal have been hired to replace those who have left, leading to further employee frustration.

Cons

*This company will never survive because management is doing everything possible to not run a successful company *Nearly all executives live outside of Pittsburgh and could not even tell you what people in the office do on a day-to-day basis *Lack of communication *Lack of collaboration across teams/groups *Extreme toxicity - rampant bullying, often from supervisors, favoritism, stalking, etc *HR that does absolutely nothing but protect the company *Very high level of turnover *When executives are in the office, they lie straight to your face about pretty much everything *Complete lack of transparency *There's no cohesion with this group, constant fighting, sometimes sabotaging, it literally feels like middle school *Whatever promising science BSB had is gone with the current administration and unfortunately, it's only getting worse
