Pros

Its a fortune 500 company, looks good on the CV and there are a few connects that you can make and maintain. Also, since the technology itself is flawless, the customer interaction and the network thus developed is quite possibly the best one can hope for.

Cons

Office politics is encouraged and so is backstabbing. Makes for a very unhappy work environment.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
