Pros

Lots of interesting clients and coworkers all focused on furthering science. Flexible work schedule for the field but getting more micromanaged as boomer leadership wets themselves over new metrics afforded by the transition to Salesforce from lotus notes.

Cons

Quality of instruments, parts and subject matter experts has been sliding. SaaS model is annoying for our clients and isn't translating into anything but bonuses for bigwigs who are going to cut rope in the next few years (c suite turns over frequently since they stopped promoting from within). Corpo was all too happy to cut pay over the pandemic but took home big bonus in their stock allocations while sticking it to their intermediate and entry level employees. C suite has a whole host of conflicts of interests we aren't supposed to talk about.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
