Pros
Your coworkers are pretty knowledgeable.
Cons
1) you’ll be underpaid. The company does not pay the going rate of your field. 2) you’ll be overworked and told you just need to work harder from upper management. 3) if you don’t work in HQ in Ohio, you essentially don’t exist to the company. When things “improve” they only improve for HQ. I lost 2 days of PTO a year because company moved to 9/80. Our group wasn’t allowed to. 4) managers only want to discuss salary when you have two feet out the door. 5) you’ll be asked to take over tasks completely out of your technical realm because “work needs to get done” or “you’re not making Battelle any money in this contract that you didn’t write.” 6) You won’t own any of your original ideas. All of your IP will be owned by Battelle no matter what and if you don’t give any it will be held against you come pay raise time 7) Battelle’s code of ethics does not apply to managers, only to low level employees.
