      Buyer beware

      Pros

      I would have said there is a handful of motivated, quality engineers, but by my count all but two have quit. So nothing. Absolutely nothing.

      Cons

      Pay is fast below market rate, incompetent management, engineers are leaving in droves, really just awful, toxic, culture.. worked after hours without any recognition, seemed to just be expected (talking midnight-7am on a Saturday), don't work here if you're looking for a job in software.

      Great science with “blame game” commercial culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart scientists who care about improving drug development; talented engineers

      Cons

      Any miss on bookings triggers a scramble to assign blame. Services can’t be bothered to champion company’s own software. Infighting between business units. Hard to believe this is one company.
