Pros

Wonderful colleagues who are dedicated and remain consistently engaged and want to drive business and customer experience, long legacy of solid product innovation and commercial teams that understand the customer. Still the most dedicated organization in the industry but the cracks have been created and now are only widening.

Cons

• Leadership failure: CEO is self-absorbed, out of touch, and surrounded by spineless yes-men. • Toxic culture: Favoritism, gaslighting, and blame games are replacing true accountability. Problems are not attacked - people are attacked. • Innovation dead zone: Lip service to innovation while gutting real progress and resources with consultant jargon. New senior execs don’t even know what we make and need to have 101 sessions on the tech. We can tell you don’t know!! • Legacy trashed: Longstanding values and culture are being dismantled or ignored.. • Morale crash: Competent people pushed out; only the “inner circle” survives. • Transformation chaos: Strategy driven by cluelessness, with no ownership or understanding of the damage done. • Echo chamber: Leadership congratulates itself and makes videos while the company burns.

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.
