Pros

Following the recent layoffs in 2025 at Diabetes, there isn't much to recommend this place. I am looking for a new job, despite currently having one.

Cons

This place does not invest in employees. Managers often hire friends or prioritize hiring individuals with visas, allowing them to be overworked and underpaid. The last layoff resulted in the dismissal of many long-term employees, so a significant amount of work that no one knows how to do has been redistributed. The ratings this year were calibrated with input from directors and SVPs, not from managers. The only ratings that were four or above were those of friends of the directors or people they were concerned would leave after the recent round of layoffs. The nepotism in this place is absurd.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
