Pros

Mission focused with fantastic products. Great benefits, hard working employees who care about the impact their work has on the greater good in the world. CEO is on track for building a world-class medical services organization.

Cons

Mid-level Management is not always the best. People are promoted when they shouldn't be, others are not promoted when they should be. If you're a "ladder climber" and know how to "sell" yourself, you will probably get promoted. To me, many of these people are over selling their abilities, and end up being really bad managers. Over works the employees - taking on more than is feasible in very unrealistic timelines.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
