Pros

None, a toxic workplace is not worth it

Cons

A newly hired director of toxicology has managed to turn this into the worst place I have ever worked in an astonishingly short amount of time. Her leadership is openly fear-based, condescending, and riddled with poor communication and blatant favoritism. Expectations changed constantly, were rarely communicated clearly, and were enforced through rude remarks and everyday belittling rather than actual guidance. Work-life balance has ceased to exist, stress is constant, and misery is now the default team culture. That’s not to mention mental health has plunged. People have stopped collaborating or doing their best work and focused solely on survival or avoiding becoming the director’s new target for her condescension and hostility. I actively dread work every day and am trying to GET OUT

Pros

Great team members. Solid mission to work towards.

Cons

Work life balance, they killed the culture and the senior leadership changes with the wind. Lack of communication across divisions. Strong preference for inclusion for onsite team; remote are left out frequently, intentionally.
