Pros

Ability to work remotely, even when living a few miles from the site.

Cons

No autonomy. Every decision must be escalated to a C-suite ececutive. Lots of promises but little follow-through or support from manager. Or manager's manager. When trying to do a skip level 1;1 or open door, executives refused to speak with me -- including the Chief HR Officer.

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.
