Pros

The technical staff were incredibly welcoming, smart, and professional folks and it was a pleasure working with them.

Cons

I started this job bright eyed and positive but couldn't believe the speed at which I was transformed into apathetic mush by this place. I loved working with my team but could see the world beyond my little bubble was a withering shell of a once vibrant, mission driven company. Senior leadership is disconnected from daily operations and all I heard from them was empty ambition and buzzwords with no meaningful direction. Seems like the people at the top are more interested in using this place to generate a few lines about improving KPIs on their resume than anything else. Apathy breeds apathy and I knew it was time to go.

Pros

Ability to work remotely The immediate people I worked with, but they’ve either left for better opportunities or they were fired by “transformation”

Cons

We could have been really great, but once the 2020 transformational changes started they never really stopped. It’s one thing after another. There is absolutely no stability in the organization, management fires people without announcement and then turnaround and either hire someone less qualified or don’t backfill the positions at all. The lack of communication and leadership is terrible. They fire entire teams without understanding what they did for the organization. It’s amazing how quickly they destroyed the company. I don’t know how this organization can be saved.

Pros

None really. One of the most unprofessional companies I’ve worked for, especially given that the industry is so highly regulated

Cons

No interest in quality. The bottom line took priority. When quality issues were challenged, senior managers became very antagonistic and not interested in making changes. They made my job untenable
