Ineffective management that fails to communicate, continually changing requirements result in much rework and lost time, lack of management skills of those in leadership positions, revenue focused with human resources utilized to maximize profits, a high amount of part time employees are hired such that the company saves on benefits, health insurance, and transportation costs, employees are overworked, stressed, and micromanaged with an underlying mangerial lack of trust and support

Pros

The company is focused on good work. They have the opportunity to help improve the places where they are engaed.

Cons

Poor management structure. Lack of vision about how to grow the company. Over-reliance on processes from past work that have no application to current or future work. Micro management of employees who are successful and accomplished in their own right. Thier indecisive and non transparent actions with basic company decisions foster an atmosphere of instability and untrustworthiness in employees.

Pros

The work I was a part of had a decent amount of travel opportunities and a lot of hands on experience, plus (on the surface level) a great culture, but that was really dependent on the people you worked and if you were lucky and on the right side of management making the calls.

Cons

If you need and value stability, especially in the Government side, ethics, or advancement due to merit, this isn't the place for you. There were no opportunities to shift within the organization, regardless of the efforts you made as an individual. It is also not a place you want to bring or leverage your network with, as they will be used and burned as other people see fit. The value was always the short, cash-grabbing win, regardless of the cost in reputation, relationships within the community, or professional ethics. After leaving, I and a number of colleagues have had to work against this negative reputation, and I have personally been called out on it in interviews for positions with their former USG clients. And yes, some of the high level leadership (C-suite) has now changed since I left, but that reputation has held true years later within the community.

I'm the new CEO of Metabiota and as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, unfortunately our DC office closure over a year ago created a negative experience for affected individuals. We're now a small group of talented, committed employees excited about the company and its future.
