Pros

Great products being made for the world. Saving lives. Coworkers are trusted while others are only here at the company to be only promoted to Associate Directors/Director roles and quit later for jobs at other companies.

Cons

Micromanagement at it's best, politics and high turnover rate. There isn't room for job growth opportunities but the same employees constantly grow in different directions. Company passes over qualified employees for job promotions or job advancement that employees deserve for personal reasons which is ridiculous.

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.
