Pros

I enjoyed working with my manager and 2 collegues

Cons

Petty bureaucratic and somewhat small-minded with respect too. Fulfilling the tactical elements of the job but not really engaging in the scientific contributions that we were required to make. Big disconnect in providing support.

Major decline since company split

Pros

Managers/employees that have been around prior to the split are helpful, supportive, and kind.

Cons

Everything since the split has been a negative experience, lowering of benefits, very little to no investments in people/processes/tools. Declining customer satisfaction.

Pros

Every day is something new, customers are somewhat loyal

Cons

New management beholden to private equity investors to recoup finances. Change is slow and improvements unwelcome
