Pros

Good pay, benefits. Executive management seeks opportunities to send the corporate message to the rest of the organization. Efforts always made to made sure everyone is aware of the current financials & organizational direction.

Cons

Some individuals in management have not actually performed the work, so they have no appreciation for what it entails. Some executives rule by "my way or the highway", which can be threatening and intimidating to some.

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.
