Pros

The company’s mission of improving patient lives remains a powerful motivator. Historically, the organization has benefited from a strong foundation of innovation and a culture that valued its employees' contributions to that mission.

Cons

There has been a noticeable shift in leadership style following the recent transition in the CEO's office. Their current approach feels increasingly metrics-driven and "old school," moving away from the empathetic, people-first culture that defined the company for the past two decades.

Pros

All the surface level amenities (building, cafe, gym). Lots of SMEs with big hearts.

Cons

The number of people that quit in the last 90 days. Quiet layoffs The true promotion price is doing 3 jobs and accommodating different time zones. Lots of inexperienced managers and layers Too much " aligning" and "circling back" ; not enough doing
