Pros

-Good WLB -Commensurate pay -Friendly coworkers -Company makes products that help society

Cons

This is hands-down a backwards company. Systems are antiquated, and most of the management that have been with the company 20+ years are resistant to any change. As such, people are left doing meaningless and redundant work that could otherwise be eliminated if management had 2021 mindset and not 1993. None of the work is interesting and you'll be itching to leave once you join. While the company has core values, innovation definitely isn't one of them, as evidenced by the old fashioned systems and methodologies that could be improved, if it weren't for old guard management.

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.
