New Leader is the Worst

Pros

Paying job if you are desperate enough

Cons

New president is the worst leader ever. She is clueless and is driving the business into the ground. Don't be surprised if she lays off a lot of people soon and screws everyone over on severance. Sales team especially look out. If you are able to, get out asap.

Pros

The product portfolio and mission of the company is great and there are truly some people in the building that are amazing ocean scientists. The rank and file employees are, for the most part, a solid crew who work hard. There is a new president - so I'm hopeful some of the issues I put in "cons" will change, but I'm not overly hopeful.

Cons

Senior leadership is distant and uninterested in anything other than their metrics. It's been at least 4 years since "my boss's boss" had a conversation with me and solicited my opinion - the only conversation they initiate is when they needed something from me. Decisions are theirs to make, but their distance means they are making them without having all the information and expertise they should - and making many of them wrong. It's also alienating long time experts in what they do - that their opinion is not sought or valued. Also, Veralto is clearly not focused on helping Sea-Bird - even more so than when it was Danaher. The attitude of many senior Hach and Veralto leaders towards Sea-Bird and their concerns borders on professional negligence of their duties. The service that employees get from centralized functions like HR and IT is flat out pathetic.
