Pros

Incredible purpose and values. I see lots of pride in working here. My department is large, cohesive and well-invested in - I love it! Employees here are very good at what they do and care about each other. New company name and brand in February 2026 marks a new chapter for us. New programs launching all the time, innovative company and senior leaders.

Cons

Can feel very HQ-centric - and I'm not at HQ. High expectations that are unclear at times. Empowered to do my work, but then over-reviewed. Like many company divisions, the intuitions seem siloed and say they work for the institution, not Covista.
