      Pros

      offices are very nice, well kept locker rooms and showers, lunch often provided

      Cons

      Contracted employees routed through Apex Systems and offered terrible benefits. Extremely expensive for little to no coverage. Overworked lab staff and refusal to hire adequate number of technicians. Micromanage your time and being casually social with coworkers in the office is discouraged. Allowed other employees to bully and use less experienced technicians to do their work. Little opportunity for advancement within the labs, pay not adequately adjusted to keep up with cost of living.

      Pros

      The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

      Cons

      QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
