Pros

Great benefits package and decent compensation.

Cons

If I'd known 12 years ago the inexorable decline this industry was going to take I would've moved to Silicon Valley and joined Google or Apple instead. The sales force is increasingly unhappy and concerned: fewer promotion opportunities, stagnant wages, and shrinking access to customers. It's not looking good. People are constantly wondering if they'll get laid off. A lot of colleagues have left. The career opportunities for growth are disappearing and the threat of layoffs is always looming. On top of that the number of legal policies seems to endlessly increase.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
