Pros

Start up culture and decent pay

Cons

Consider this a warning to those who are here or planning to join soon. In the past two years, I have seen a growing number of layoffs and departures across the ranks. Under the new CEO, there is another company wide cost-cutting initiative being planned right now that will only be more intense in order to show the right numbers to investors, and so there is little effort in retaining employees or granting additional benefits. This will be the norm until the company gets sold or acquired. There is no stability here, whether you have been here for months or years. I know this much from where I am, and seeing things unfold. Sadly, high-performing individuals and teams get axed for no good reason other than profit making and politics. As a result, you have problems that never get resolved because nobody knows how to fix it. By the time someone actually learns how to do something, they're gone. If you are deciding whether or not to join this company, my advice is to look elsewhere for a long term career. If you are already here, update your resume. You never know when the day will come.

Pros

Good value proposition with a company that fulfills a need in healthcare. Has potential to be great with leadership and culture changes at the top

Cons

Extremely toxic culture that is focused on money, completing a transaction of going public or selling, without care of what it does to the actual business operations and people. So many good people leave. If you speak up, even with data and alternate ideas, you are then deemed to be negative or not a right fit for the fast moving culture. People are assessed by perceptions, regardless of actual facts. Unfortunately the senior leadership of the HR team has extreme group think and lacks professional and emotional maturity to lead the company's people in unbiased ways.
