Perceptive reviews

I'd previously posted a review which was removed from Glassdoor. It seems all reviews prior to the name change from Calyx to Perceptive have been removed from this company page. Calyx as it was when I worked there was dreadful. A completely out of touch C-suite who would constantly pat their own backs and not be honest with their employees. The day after Calyx's acquisition by a venture capital firm was announced on a townhall, I was brought into a meeting with my manager and department head and let go for business reasons, told to log off immediately and not come back. I also have written confirmation from them after going through ACAS that they didn't follow the full legal process to let me go, as I wasn't allowed anyone from my union in my meeting with management. Salary was poor compared to the market. Upper management also wanted nothing to do with process improvements. Systems were old, complicated and there were no frameworks on how departments should interact with eachother. It was a free for all which led to delays on project deliverables.

Things have gotten very bad within this new company. Benefits have been stripped- benefits which primarily impact women and young families. Parental leave has been halved to 2 weeks, and minor holidays (school/daycare holidays) have been taken away. This company is not family friendly and is not interested in staying competitive in the market with their benefits. If you are a young professional who is considering starting a family soon, this is not the place for you. Salary is lower than industry standard, but historically benefits have made up for this. Without these benefits, there is very little incentive to stay long term.
