Pros

Flexible remote work Good Benefits New HQ location with good amenities

Cons

Company's new merger ruined the work place environment, the new management deteriorated in the past year especially the IT department. It is no longer "Let's work together for better solutions" it has become more like "We order, you work!" . This has become a trend in almost all the departments and this is not a very good reflection of the company's motto.

Pros

Free lunch every day is nice. For the most part a very autonomous working environment. Pay is good.

Cons

Poor health benefits, especially for a company working in healthcare. Limited maternity leave, and zero paternity leave. Takes weeks for HR to answer simple questions. Unstructured management and poor leadership. Lots of turnover at the junior levels. Strategic thinking is antiquated.
