Pros

There are opportunities if you have the right skill set. Most people are friendly and willing to do what it takes to get the job done. There is always work to do and things to get done. The ultimate objective to keep people well for an affordable cost is a noble goal.

Cons

Frustration at how things get done and very little direction or planning. Doing more with less can lead to backlogs and high stress.

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.
