Loved working with scientists and some great people across the Lab. That usually outweighed massively dysfunctional department management.
Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Unternehmen am besten?
Brilliant science and scientists in a beautiful setting.
Was hat Ihnen am Interviewprozess am besten gefallen?
Getting to meet many people at different levels and functions at the Lab
Was ist das Beste an Ihrem Vergütungspaket?
Benefits are quite good - medical/dental are comprehensive and premiums very low, and employer-funded pension is excellent.
Was macht Sie bei der Arbeit am glücklichsten?
Working with people who take pride in what they do, do it well, and making the Lab look great.
Was müssen Ihre Mitarbeiter verbessern und wie könnten Sie besser zusammenarbeiten?
Non-scientific staff's general competence and willingness to venture outside of their job description is wildly inconsistent. The key for anyone new to the Lab is to figure out who the people are in each department that can be relied on.
Was braucht das Führungsteam, um besser zu werden?
Honest, consistent communication and transparency. Stop allowing dept heads to create silos (their own "kingdoms"). HR leadership approaches role as one of protecting the Lab from its employees. No focus on employee development at the institutional level, esp for non-scientific staff.
Was möchten Sie in Ihrem Unternehmen am liebsten verbessert sehen?
Actual HR leadership vs bean-counting personnel. Actively compete for the best employees (who now have the option of working in NYC, for NYC $ w/o the daily commute!) with both pay and flexible work. Offload leaders who won't work as part of the larger team.
Was muss geändert werden, um die Unternehmenskultur zu verbessern?
The culture that was built when there were 200 employees 30 yrs ago cannot be the culture today with 1100. You have dept heads with their own agendas sometimes in opposition to the Lab - in an org of this size, you must build consistency across depts. If leaders won't work together, get new leaders.
