Pros

Home dialysis plus now outset medical was my first/ is my first start up experience after several years in "corporate America" in the biotech arena. I really didn't know what I was getting into to but wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Before HD+/Outset I was knew what was happening in my group and function. Here, I am see the big picture. Contribute to the big picture. Design, reg and clinical strategy. Usability and reliability testing. Everything. Things I had no idea been occurred in my old corporate job. Have learned more here in months than years in big company.

Cons

I come to work every day worried we will be acquired. Hate the thought. Have many friends who have told be stories about being acquired. Aside from the fabulous $$$ upside not looking forward to the day. Having too much fun.

Pros

Start up with nothing established properly so huge opportunities to learn.

Cons

Working for Outset Medical was hell on earth. You are constantly worried on when you will lose your job. The company is sinking and their stock price went from $60 to 40 cents. They stopped sponsoring peoples PERM throughout the company so if you are on a visa, stay away. If you dont have visa issues I would still stay away unless you want to be overwhelmed with constant worry. The company is very dysfunctional.
