Pros

Strong mission that genuinely focuses on improving lives through innovative healthcare technology. Supportive peers and collaborative engineering and operations teams. Access to robust tools, training, and exposure to Lean Six Sigma practices.

Cons

Management needs to improve (Toxic) - Inconsistent management practices and lack of transparency in decision-making, especially when it comes to recognizing contributions and team dynamics. Limited visibility into performance evaluations or opportunities for internal career growth. Multiple experiences of favoritism or bias can impact morale, particularly when not all team members are treated with equal fairness or accountability. Management communication can sometimes feel reactive rather than proactive, especially during changes or restructuring.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
