Pros

Pay and benefits are on par compared to similar companies (although no 401k match vesting until after 3 years). There are some really talented and helpful individuals, but they are few and far between. The employee resource groups are good to promote inclusion and diversity.

Cons

Management has created an extremely toxic culture. The Quality organization is especially terrible. Managers throw their employees under the bus constantly and badmouth them to other employees. They also treat contractors as sub-human. The level of unprofessionalism is astounding - I don’t know how some of these managers and directors still have their jobs. They don’t even try to hide the sexism and favoritism. Work/life balance is terrible. My management jumped all over us for not working 10+ hour days consistently. There is also a complete lack of recognition for the work unless you are a “favorite” working on a pet project. We were told to be proud of what we’ve done for patients over the last year; that’s nice to be helping patients, but it doesn’t translate to any recognition for all the hours including nights and weekends we poured into our projects. There also isn’t a lot of room for true professional development. The opportunities for travel or training for the individual contributor employees are few and far between. It’s honestly not good for a person’s health to choose to work at this facility. I know multiple employees who are in essence “stuck” because they are on work visas and they are absolutely miserable.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
