Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work environment. Interesting and challenging work. People are great.

Cons

Mandating Covid Vaccines for US employees as a brand new condition of continued employment. Your vaccination status is far more important than your job performance.

Thanks for taking time to share your view. Our decision, like those we’ve taken throughout the pandemic, is grounded in science. Our top priority is in this case not the individual performance, but to protect the health and safety of our employees and ensure business continuity. With the continued rise of the Delta variant, we believe more must be done to prevent the spread of the virus at our site and the risk it poses to our people and operations. We believe this is in the best interest of everyone on our campuses and the communities where we work and live, our customers and the patients we serve. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future within our company.
