Pros
Colleagues at the specialist level were generally supportive and hardworking
Meaningful mission on paper, with patients at the center of the science.
Hybrid/remote flexibility
Cons
Extremely poor leadership communication and lack of transparency, especially around job security, contracts, and organizational changes.
Very top heavy company; too many ADs, SDs, EDs that did not contribute much to the company.
Reactive, disorganized management with frequent last-minute decisions that directly impacted employee morale and workload.
Little accountability at the leadership level; problems were consistently pushed downward rather than addressed.
Contractors were treated as disposable despite carrying critical workloads, with minimal respect or clarity around extensions or expectations.
Very toxic culture of uncertainty; employees (below AD level) were often left in the dark, fueling anxiety and burnout.
Career growth and development were rarely supported.
