Pros

The flexibility. I was able to set my own work hours. I was encouraged by my boss to play sports almost every day at lunch. There was basketball, indoor soccer, ping pong, softball. Being able to do stuff like that during lunch made working 8 hours a day much much more enjoyable. In addition, I found it to be a very family-like atmosphere. I really enjoyed the interactions I had with my coworkers. My boss was awesome. He always asked what he could do to help me do my work better. When I had things to improve on, he was so nice about explaining how he thought I could improve, and would ask what he could do to help me get better.

Cons

Some people don't like Santa Rosa, being kinda far from San Francisco, but I like it up there. Very quiet and laid back.

Pros

My team and I like being in a company doing good in the world. Can advance my career.

Cons

Pace is flat out and looks like it will stay that way. It’s hard to look at better ways to work when people are stretched trying to get something done then move to the next

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
