Thank you for your feedback. I would disagree with your statement about our benefits and holidays. Hanover offers 18 days of PTO in an employee's first year of employment, and an additional day for each year of service thereafter. Unused PTO rolls over year over year so that staff can take extended vacation if they wish. We offer 6 weeks of paid maternity leave and subsidize health and dental insurance so that employees are contributing less than 15% of the premiums each month. The research role can be challenging for some individuals. It requires a researcher to be able to work independently on a project for 8-9 hours a day until the project is completed. For some individuals, this type of structured, independent work can be tedious and lack diversity but for individuals who enjoy the variety of the projects, the quick turnaround nature of our projects and ability to take full ownership of a product from start to finish, this role is ideal.
