Pros

Good products. Strong executive team that means well and says the right things about fixing what's wrong

Cons

The execs' words don't filter down. Too many people in senior mgmt have been with the company way too long. No ideas, no vision, no appetite for change. Also, too many long-term employees have been there too long; they've become so complacent that the only time they work hard is when they're fighting to preserve their status quo. There's a reason there's a ton of employees who've been there for 15+ years, a handful who've been there for 2 or less years, and nothing in between.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
