Pros

- good benefits - some really amazing coworkers (until they get laid off)

Cons

- constant re-orgs, and there's never a well thought out plan, so the people at the bottom are constantly being thrown into chaos - the quality of the leadership team decreases with each re-org; leaders are chosen based on favoritism, not on knowledge or skills - leaders have no commitment to patients or quality, they only care about lining their pockets - training sucks - people who actually care and try to make improvements are labeled complainers and are not given opportunities to advance, or they're laid off - hypocrisy, lies, gaslighting, double standards

Pros

The benefits were awesome. I used the maternity leave and I really appreciated being out for 12 weeks instead of the traditional 6 weeks. I'm guessing this is because they are not a U.S. originated company. I also had the opportunity to work with really smart people.

Cons

My manager was a Shared Services manager with no concept of IT or Security so she was not able to give me the support I needed to understand and collaborate on my role responsibilities. As a result, she managed based on meaningless tasks and how many hours she could get me to spend on them. She didn't understand that 10+ programs was too many for 1 person to fully understand, and maintain. Security was not centralized within the company so different departments were doing different things with no collaboration. Security was not taken seriously. Managers wanted to do the least and have me sign off on whatever. I had numerous privacy concerns that were part of their minimum security requirements that were not addressed. The company hasn't adopted a framework they plan to stick to. Overall, I felt like the fall person for when they eventually have a major breach or fall out with some privacy law like GDPR.
