Pros

Good people outside of Leadership

Cons

Brutal culture, don’t challenge leadership unless you want a 15 minute meeting on your calendar with HR. Truly feels like leadership has no idea what they’re doing. 0 experience outside of running TraceLink, strategies change constantly, 0 consistency in anything. Have seen very smart people challenge leadership’s ideas or offer alternative opinions and they got fired. 0 room for growth, the place is burning and they don’t care about their customers at all. Out sourcing things to India. Products get half baked and sales reps get pressure to sell it even though it’s not fully functional. I wouldn’t recommend working here unless new leadership is implemented which feels necessary for them to grow

Pros

* Free lunch in the office. * Good tech solving real problems and improving the safety of the pharma supply chain. * Smart contributor and manager-level employees.

Cons

* CEO and COO don't trust the people they hire and micromanage often. When something fails, you get blamed despite an executive taking a major role in shifting it from your vision to the current state. * Penny pinching and outsourcing constantly without considering the downstream consequences. Example: Cutting an experienced contractor to use a cheap foreign freelancer from an online marketplace, resulting in deliverable delays that affect board presentations. * General poor treatment of talent. Horror stories like pressuring people to finish work over the holidays for SKO, when in reality they were being laid off. Layoffs happen annually. An incredible amount of hiring from the outside instead of promoting within too. * Terrible RTO push. Went from attributing growth during COVID to how good we were at WFH to completely eliminating remote work opportunities and mandating 5 days in office.
