Business outlook
Pros
There is a diaspora of really fantastic, talented people who had been part of the company. Some wonderful souls still soldier on. The mission to combat antibiotic resistance is genuine and critical to society.
Cons
A well intended emphasis on positive culture mutated into a clique system that punishes dissenters and devalues stoic worker bees. A system of annual employee evaluations came with instruction that it was more important "how" people did things than "what" things they did. Classic pendulum swing into form over substance territory. This provided the guise to favor the gregarious yea-sayers and marginalize dissent, or anyone who simply had a more quiet demeanor.
