Pros
- work in a great team culture with international, talented, and inspiring colleagues - dive deep into medical knowledge, guidelines, literature, and pathophysiology in order to process this information into a useful format for clinical work or into exam questions that train physicians in their clinical thinking - create content with a reach of thousands of physicians and medical students worldwide - enjoy a wonderful office atmosphere if you work from the office and have the flexibility of working remotely if you are looking for a job from home - have a good work-life balance, especially in comparison with hospital work - salary reflects achievements (someone who is engaged will be recognized compared to hospital settings where salary only depends on how long you've worked in the field)
Cons
- no direct patient contact but a relevant reach on a more abstract level (the content you create affects thousands of physicians and thereby thousands and thousands of patients worldwide) - no straightforward career path (if you are looking for a steep and straightforward career, the editorial department cannot provide a path that is as well defined as a career in a hospital setting or in other job fields. This is partially due to the young age of the company and is constantly being developed and reevaluated. The goal is to have a career possibility also for the editorial department, but currently, this project is still in process.) - salary is lower than the average salaries for patient care in Germany (however, fast development of salaries is possible, although the patient care salaries will usually not be surpassed)
