“Meh”

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The people who do the day to day work are amazing and there’s a number of well-meaning people. There’s also an ability to work on different clients if you want to take on more work. There’s also some transparency with the CEO, but not enough to really say what’s actually going on all of the time. Benefits are pretty good, but not enough to stay at the company.

Cons

There’s no real cohesion with the company and it’s like there’s a separation between people who actually do work and those who just have a fancy job title. There shouldn’t be nine “Vice Presidents” of Business Development and six “entry level” research associates. That makes zero sense. There’s too much going on with developing “new” technology, which aren’t new to anyone but complicate things for those who actually work.

All optics, no substance

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a handful of individuals that shine and genuinely care about the work that is being done. The company has good health benefit options.

Cons

All senior energy goes towards sales enablement and optics. There is no cohesive internal vision. There is little to no investment in culture or communication, care for those executing the day to day work, or understanding that there is anything wrong in the first place. All promises pertaining to growth and assistance have been broken.
