Pros

Good work life balance. Some opportunities to work remote. Decent pay.

Cons

The new CEO has created chaos within the company with his "transformation" project. No employees have seen tangible benefits of these changes. Many middle management positions were eliminated and in most cases those responsibilities have been absorbed by other employees who were already stretched extremely thin (with no change to their compensation). Ultimately, this has severely impacted morale across the company. I often talk to people who I'm meeting for the first time on a teams call and they openly complain about what is going on within the company. There is a huge resistance to adding headcount, but upper management is quick to suggest hiring external employees or paying for consultants. Benefits aren't as good as they make it out. Paternity leave is only good if you're in California or another state with specific benefits. Have to work for the company for 10 years before you earn additional time off.

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.
