Good company gone bad

Business Outlook

Pros

Exciting and innovative products diagnosing cancer.

Cons

The company has grown too big, too fast and their management team can't handle it. They are now more focused on making a lot of money and lost their focus on diagnosing cancer. Hiring too many, too fast has damaged the company culture beyond recognition from a couple years ago. They no longer care about the employee, as they are treated with disrespect and expected to take on more and more projects without the support and compensation. Too bad. It used to be a great team. Now you have to be vaccinated to work there. That was the last straw for me. I work remote and make my own choices about my health. NOT MY EMPLOYER!!!
