Overall good place to work but insecure due to poor pipeline management

Clinical operations management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation and benefits, talented people to work with, convenient location to shopping and airport, good cafeteria food and cheap prices, low priced exercise gym on campus.

Cons

Management could provide more opportunity for input from staff to improve operations and be more open with strategy planning, creating better buyin and reaping good ideas from emplyees. Then cut the beurocracy and implement the ideas faster. Operations could be more efficient with less competion between geographical hubs.

Business Outlook

Pros

None I can think of. This was a great place to work, no longer.

Cons

Senior management has destroyed this company and continues to make poor decisions. Workers scapegoated for senior management failure. There is no accountability for Upper management. They still receive obscene levels of compensation whether they deliver or not and are guaranteed golden parachutes upon exit. This company wastes money hand over fist and continues to compound this by having to pay to undo messes.They don't care about the quality of the work but Just want to maximize profits at any cost. Workers are looked at as an expense rather than a resource that can build capital. They continue to export jobs to countries with cheap labour and human rights abuses.
