"It is a great company with strong ethical principles"
"The people working there, mostly the security team, cannot be trusted. My personal information was given out to a stalker and that forced me to leave my position. While working there my supervisor had me doing his work while he did school work. There are a lot of good hard working scientists not being paid what they are worth. Contracts are taken away and given to others based solely on friendship within the company."
