Pros

It's an international organization, with thousands of employees. This makes it rather easy to move from one location/position to another. It also makes it possible to have a reasonable career development within the same company. It serves academia, so it's generally employing smart people.

Cons

Some departments are understaffed, so people can be overworked. At least in some locations it's easy to find support people that are not really working. senior management really care only about the bottom line. While one of the mantra of the company is "value our people", this is not really happening.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
