Pros

There are great benefits, fair conpensation ONLY if you're not working at the lab

Cons

All carrer advancements, promotions, raise are only given to men. The few women who are managers are 3 times more qualify than their male counter parts. The lab mostly hires, spanish speaking migrants or people with prison records. They are made to feel that they have very little choices when complaining. There is a union but its in house and report to HR and management. Unless you are one of the "men" in the inner circle you're never fully given any information. Its almost like they are stuck in time, the place is very segregated.This isnt betterness im one of the few people with a decent salary, but as someone with migrant parents, this does bother me

Pros

Great individuals to work with for the most part.

Cons

Executive leadership and their willingness to blame others for their lack of decisions, or poor decisions, or taking responsibility. French company, so GAP aren't used; no US regulatory oversight. The company operates much like today's political environment -- blame, no ownership, "what's in it for me." The only group I would recommend would be Marketing, but be prepared for last minute style of management.
