Pros

Dynamic, diverse, women and men treated the same, big enough to have growth paths and options for all.

Cons

Struggling with competition and quality issues with the FDA for years. Corporate behavior leads to massive and frequent re-orgs and instability / insecurity. Demanding environment, not suited for those who wish to work 9-5 and stay relaxed. No future in Cleveland.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
