Pros

The culture is one of innovation; respect and goodwill for others; and attention to detail befitting a highly-regulated industry. I work with smart people on innovations to make health care better. Software process maturity: #1 in Tiobe TICS survey. Good tooling: GitHub, ReSharper, CloudBees CI/CD

Cons

It's not a move-fast-and-break-things culture, which might be frustrating to some. Lots of regulatory-compliance needs, pretty heavy process to commit a PR.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
