Pros

Our products really do make the world a better place. It feels good to know that what we do makes a difference

Cons

Every company has politics, but the political situation here has gotten demonstrably worse in the past 5-6 years. Leaders are too conservative, and while they pay lip service to encouraging innovative thinking, any out-of-the-box proposal gets met with a clear no. The level of favoritism is also disheartening -- it wasn't always this bad. Our CEO keeps saying, "The best is yet to come." Nope, the best passed us by years ago.

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.
