Pros

New people have come in at a senior level who are bringing better leadership and direction. We are working on a lot of great products and projects that will benefit a lot of patients. The atmosphere is fairly laid back and people are generally very friendly. The California offices are small and it is easy to get to know people.

Cons

There are a lot of folks that have been around a long time that are very set in their ways and have no motivation to change som bad behaviors. Luckily some of these folks are starting to move on. The benefits aren't the greatest. Some mangers think it is okay to "rule by fear."

Advice to Senior Management

The promotion policy needs to be clear and equitably applied to all employees. The Maryland HQ needs to treat the California offices like key team players and not second class citizens
