Pros

Excellent benefits, amazing 401k matching, Long Term Incentives for Director and above are great. Fair amount of work-life balance. Company is focused on customer/patient and a diverse workforce.

Cons

Salaries are somewhat low - merits are not in line with inflation. Transform D has ruined the culture throughout the org - people don't feel secure and safe. It no longer feels like people first. Layers of leadership have been removed and the remaining leaders have too many direct reports across too many geographies. This has resulted in a focus on fire fighting and less on people development/growth. Leaders are grossly diluted and will burn out eventually. HR and IT are awful. Everything goes through a Costa Rica call center and it takes days or weeks to get anything done. It is very cumbersome and broken. HR and IT used to be so supportive and localized. This is all gone and more and more functions are moving to a centralized model. It is slowly destroying the organization. I would wait 1-2 years for the dust to settle before joining the organization.
