Pros

Free lunch and immediate co-worker relationships

Cons

In the last 1.5 years this company has managed to alienate their entire staff. Morale is at an all-time low which is not recognized by upper management at all. In fact, in the last town hall the CEO stated he thought morale was fine. This is not a measurement he cares about. The back to office policy is outrageous, 5 days a week, 9-5, they even monitor when people are at their desks. They even are making people that live 2-3 hours away come in. In fact, the CEO in the same town hall said that if people didn't adhere to the policy they would be fired, and he said they have already done so. Tracelink is run as a dictatorship that doesn't feel safe as the CEO belittles, screams and swears at employees when they don't agree or have new ideas that don't align with his. They don’t know how to bring new products to market. They don’t do any type of market research and when the strategy fails they blame sales. The environment is hostile, depressing and no one feels like it’s a safe space. HR can’t intervene because they have no real power. Please take these reviews seriously, they are not manufactured. The employees want change before it’s too late. They are going to lose valuable employees with a wealth of knowledge.

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.
