Pros

Used to be a great market leading company

Cons

Nepotism hires from the top, down! Can’t hold on to good talent, our division lost 2 important team leaders because the company couldn’t recognise their contributions nor could they be respectful of them, as they were not Nepo hires. Used to have very open conversations about Diversity and inclusion but that was all lip service after trump came to power! Lack of backbone in leadership was obvious at this point.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
