Pros

Salary, 401k benefits, comprehensive insurance

Cons

The manufacturing division (MMD) supports retaliatory practices by intentionally imbalancing workload, overloading non-favorited employees, in order to then write up and negatively review those employees per HR when they cannot perfectly handle multiple people’s workload. If you are fast tracked, you will have a good experience. If you are not, management will not seek to develop you, even if you ask for opportunities. The opportunities they provide will simply be more of the same work, which will then be used to justify not backfilling other employees, because you can absorb their workload but non of their compensation

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.
