Pros

Cheerful surroundings; outstanding, smart, capable people; fun perks; good benefits.

Cons

Too many levels of management, and middle managers have historically been responsible for too many departments (ie spread too thin) which are often competing for scarce resources. Some recent reshuffling has improved this. Too much reliance on metrics and not enough understanding what many providers actually do. So much of what we do is not billable.

Pros

Front line staff genuinely care and are committed to the organization, even though it has changed dramatically for the worse.

Cons

Leadership under new CEO (Longhurst) has quickly become toxic. Long time employees and leaders are exiting quickly. Return to office mandate is going into effect in October 2026 and has caused massive upheaval and unproductive work for months as employees seek answers and get none. This comes after years of successive waves of layoffs and financial struggles that have damaged trust in executive leadership and the board. SCH used to care about mission and now it cares about keeping up with tech company trends and petting CEO’s ego.
