Pros

There are some nice people. But most of them got laid off or are leaving.

Cons

Outrageous nepotism from the CEO. No business direction, strategy, leadership, talent development or financial management. Even after laying off most senior management, the company is still on a trade show tour, sending scientists, spending millions and not affecting sales or tracking them. The company likely won’t be around in a year or so.

Pros

They were very flexible with me when I had to take time off and supported the fact that I wanted to expand outside of what was in the job description. I was allowed to work on a marketing project and even started tech support training, which I couldn't finish because of the end of my employment.

Cons

Sometimes the work felt very repetitive in the role I was working.
