Pros

The people despite ELT perception there are a lot of hard working, extremely dedicated, and knowledgeable employees.

Cons

Executive leadership does not understand what it takes to run a successful study. Lots of studies in escalation and employees are told to do better. No raises in 2025 and many layoffs
