Pros

Most colleagues are great, passionate about science and innovation.

Cons

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What began as a well-meaning Dynamic Shared Ownership model has, in practice, slowed progress and deepened bureaucracy. With team-lead and mid-level manager roles removed, many strong scientists and leaders have become frustrated and left. Meanwhile, younger talent is departing as advancement opportunities grow scarce.
