Pros

Changing diabetic's lives by providing life improving therapies. Pride in the technologies that the company has introduced into the industry and the research it conducts.

Cons

Senior leadership, mainly our Diabetes President, are ill-equipped to manage organization. Essentially, our President is asleep at the wheel half the time, the other half she is somewhere else doing something except her job. No vision and no commitment to anything other than saving her own job and making the organization look good on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
