Pros

There are some great people here. I like my team. The building is nice, but kind of empty and I don't understand how we can afford it.

Cons

We just finished another round of layoffs. We seem to be doing layoffs every couple of months for the last year. The past ones seemed to hit engineering the hardest, but this one got the science side too. Manufacturing was also hit, which is weird if we're supposed to be selling all of these instruments. Combined with some technical experts that have just left in the last year, and I'm not sure we have the capability to design another sequencer. There are also a number of executives that have been laid off too. OTOH, some of the people that have stayed are some of the most ineffective managers.

Thank you for sharing your concerns and perspective. The economy has been challenging but we have maintained approximately the same number of employees as we did at the beginning of the year, while expanding our executive team in a way that was optimal for the business. We are sorry the communication didn't seem to get through properly. We will strive for more effective communications around business changes in the future. We encourage you to raise any further concerns with your direct manager and department lead.
