Pros

Decent Benefits, Good Bonuses, Flexible Schedule

Cons

No LTI for new employees & award process biased towards long term employees; Top-heavy organizations w/ lazy, out-of-touch, or coasting leadership; bigwigs travel while forcing actual boots-on ground employees to beg for funds; zero engagement w/ maximum buzzwords, Headquarters is full of people who don't do jack but will take all of the credit/none of the blame. Super clique-y w/ obvious favoritism. Succession planning requires diversity considerations and management goals weight DEI aspects at 40%, so non-diverse personnel have limited opportunities for advancement unless you are hand-picked.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, meaningful mission (even though you will never hear anyone talk about patient impact)

Cons

Terrible culture. Profits over people mentality. Tons of turnover. Lack of direct communication. Zero focus on career development and retention. Lots of ego. Return-to-office mandate and bonuses don’t pay out fully despite good performance reviews and company hitting goals. Management by fear permeates. Work-life balance is non-existent. BD keeps taking away benefits and expects absolute loyalty without giving any in return.

Pros

Work from home with some customer facing travel

Cons

Unrealistic work load with year over year changes to the organization. Changes are made with no plan on how to execute.
