Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is on the higher end comparatively. The science holds real potential to change lives.

Cons

Poor senior management, lack of transparency, and no work-life balance, coupled with unclear vision from the top-down. The company is at a different point of the capital lifecycle, but has the same stale leadership at its helm.
