Business Outlook
Pros
Smart, mission-driven people who care about doing good work (even when the company does everything it can to stand in their way) Strong client relationships (for now) and a history delivering impactful research
Cons
Recent leadership changes have led to a culture of fear, control, and distrust Questions are viewed as challenges; competency is viewed as a threat Key staff disappear without any explanation or transition Decisions are made with no thought to the implication it will have on current projects or upcoming opportunities, leading to easily preventable disruptions in delivery and pipeline Morale is at an all time low; high performers who haven’t already been pushed out are polishing their resumes and preparing to leave
