Pros

The people I used to work with (before the last take over by the private equity group took over) were wonderful, smart and hard working. Post David Kenny/McKinsey /Elliott Mngmt- really since David Calhoun/Mitch Habib ran the company - everything went downhill.

Cons

The atmosphere now is pure stress. Not because it’s fast-paced, hard work but because they fired everyone that knew anything about the products, science, math and client needs and replaced them with people who have no background, experience or training to take over. The people that are the “leadership” are really only concerned with getting a title and high paycheck or golden parachute and know nothing about what they are doing. It is ridiculously unorganized, unoriginal and a lot of lies. Very sad because it used to be a great place to work.

Toxic work environment, HR way too involved in everything, the company expects us to be robots, document everything every person says at all times. Over working everyone since layoffs
