Pros

Good perks: 401k match of 6% and ESPP

Cons

Bad managers everywhere. Most managers became managers because the last one left company. Most new managers don’t even get manager training and work with old micromanagement style with little scope for creativity. Moral is very low in company. Most employees work for 50 hours/week but still don’t get rewarded with Individual Performance Bonus!

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.
