Pros

Pay is very competative and oppertunities exist for highly motivated. The new products are very exciting and older ones are very benificial to many people. The reward in working at this company is knowing that you can help a great deal of peple in what you make.

Cons

Communication and Senior Managment are very distant and hard to reach. They are often giving a certain direction one week then going back and changing things the following week. The change in directions and initiatives leaves people wondering what the focus should be. Also there have been 4-5 major initiatives started within a 9 month period which is very daunting and overloading to all involved in implimenting and working in the sytem.

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.
