Pros

Good management, supportive and competent

Cons

Workload too high, processes have unavoidably changed a lot due to the spinoff. Transfer to another department did not seem possible as SPM are so in demand so I left

Legacy team keeps culture alive, but otherwise a culture of fear post spin-off

Pros

Dedicated and experienced legacy colleagues who truly care about patients and quality. Opportunities to work on interesting projects with global reach. Flexible/remote working.

Cons

Post spin-off financial pressures have created a culture of fear, with multiple rounds of layoffs impacting morale and productivity. Poor change management, with centralization leading to inefficiencies, declining quality, and more client escalations. Top-down decision-making with little transparency or genuine engagement. Environment feels unstable and unfriendly; people are more focused on job security than collaboration If the job market was stronger, turnover would likely be a major issue.
