Vantaggi

Nice offices, pleasant location in the countryside. There is some interesting research which goes on. Some opportunities for travel overseas (especially if you like Holland).

Svantaggi

A lot of political infighting between senior managers. A lot of bullying. Scientists are treated with contempt (one senior manager told us we shouldn't expect a good salary because we're scientist and just enjoy what we're doing): you will not get any promotion for being a good scientist, only for saying "yes" to the right person, never questioning what you're told to do (even if it makes no sense for a research project) and playing the political game (i.e. getting your manager a promotion).

Vantaggi

Working with brands you grew up with is really exciting! The people I have met have all been amazing as well!

Svantaggi

Everyone I have talked to are overworked and feel underpaid and despite the amount of work they do, there is no recognition or appreciation. Upper management is a mess and UL is constantly restructuring, often going from new BACK to the old structure while simultaneously letting people go leaving more people overworked. While most people are amazing, there are a few micromanagers where expectations are unknown. In addition, the lack of communication is awful. Often, I hear about certain cuts through the vine rather than directly from the people involved
