Beautiful mission doesn't make up for chronic mismanagement and protracted chaos

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people who care about why they're doing what they are doing Ability to work in an interesting content area Solid pay after you've been with the company more than 5 years

Cons

ZERO/incompetent talent management, even when classified as LDRP or Hi Talent Management believes they can just review projects until they somehow magically coalesce into a business strategy

Drove out the Sr HR VP

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Saving lives, prolonging lives, always a great mission and this company makes a ton of dough.

Cons

Sr HR VP just left the company. Not sure what happened in this situation, but she was trying to make some necessary changes. She was intensely disliked, as an outsider, she challenged the status quo. Long-time staff and the good old girls/boys club will do anything to maintain status quo to keep their checks coming. Infrastructure is so bloated with VP's and Directors, I'm not sure how anyone is going to make necessary changes. Cult-like atmosphere and the mantra is stay below the radar, or you'll end up out the door.

Pros

Great opportunities for people in their 20s and 30s. Plenty of extra committees and workshops to learn the different business.

Cons

Over 40s are stagnated. Very few opportunities for over 40s not to move up the ladder. They have bully managers and HR doesn't even know what that means.
