Demoralizing Shift in Culture and Leadership Direction

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company’s mission of improving patient lives remains a powerful motivator. Historically, the organization has benefited from a strong foundation of innovation and a culture that valued its employees' contributions to that mission.

Cons

There has been a noticeable shift in leadership style following the recent transition in the CEO's office. Their current approach feels increasingly metrics-driven and "old school," moving away from the empathetic, people-first culture that defined the company for the past two decades.
