      C Level Management totally out of touch with staff.

      Pros

      Colleagues are great and direct working relationships are good apart from that there are no other good reasons that come to mind quickly which is always a bad sign.

      Cons

      Executive team live in their own ivory tower bubble with "open door" BS policy. Dare to speak out of line and you will get a torrent of emails saying you are not towing the corporate line. IT is a mess, huge reorg announced last year but it was badly planned, badly executed and is disaster, heads should go. Internal politics is awful, MedI took over a Cambridge (UK) company and ruined it but fail to admit it. CEO thinks he is the next Steve Jobs and puts style over substance in his presentations with flash graphics but hollow words, wake up Peter you are not Steve Jobs.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Nice cafeteria; expensive food -Nice facilities; temp control an issue in some buildings -Nice Fitness center -work at home allowed for some positions

      Cons

      --Employees stressed with multiple projects -They give out lots of 2's in evaluations (needs improvement ) so they don';t have to pay out bonuses.Many employees shafted this year -HR is not effective and slow to respond to basic HR issues. Who ever heard of an HR that does not review job descriptions. Why let managers hire people who do not have qualifications for the position -hiring freeze in place -no travel allowed, people cannot take external training anymore and they also balk at paying tuition reimbursement -many people I know are looking for another job but feel stuck in Maryland with few career options/companies in the area -inxperienced managers; bad behavior bullying tolerated -AZ collaboration not working out
