Pros

Benefits are good for the most part, medical part is a bit expensive. You work with some amazing people for the most part.

Cons

Company lacks communication and openness on a lot of things. Executive team makes decisions that are not always completely thought through which leads to issues/conflicts that could have been easily avoidable. Sakata has done multiple “quiet” lay offs but labels them as “restructuring” or some sort of fancy name to not scare employees instead of being honest and transparent. There can be lots of favoritism.

Pros

Many people you work with here also understand how awful the dynamics there are, however, they have their own reasons for staying and putting up with it. Job searching in the current hellscape of the US is not only destructive to all the seekers, its unveiling the sheer magnitude of greed, corruption and ignorance of employers. They should be ashamed.

Cons

1. Absence of organized training 2. Broken onboarding 3. Expectation that you will learn all that you need to do perhaps by osmosis? 4. Management that fails upward somehow when 100% ill equipped to manage any human being, should stick to only managing seeds. 5. Zero clarity 6. If you wish to stay employed while tolerating a toxic work environment, do not share your grievances (with specific examples) with anyone; mgmt directs you to tell them when something is wrong…spoiler alert: you do that and they do not support you and you are soon removed of your duties while the toxicity train is allowed to continue further down the tracks.
