Pros

Truly unique and real "feel good" vision: to produce products that can truly save lives, affordable and available to the worlds poorest populations. Despite a pretty protected senior management, the company does have an entrepreneurial twist to it and there is quite a lot of freedom to be creative and work without boundaries. You get to work and meet with some truly fascinating people in a field - public health - which is a constant challenge in many countries keeping them in the internal cycle of poverty.

Cons

Challenging internal culture and management. What you see is not quite what you get. Most people you meet are truly impressed by what the company does and see how the space they are active in can really make a different. However, on the inside, there is a rather hierarchical structure where a selected and protected senior management team takes all the key decisions very much in the dark of the employees. Somewhat culture of fear which stems from the CEOs operating style which is, at best, unpredicable.

Pros

You worked with the grassroots organization that are making a difference in helping the underserved. Had the ability to try new things and propose ideas before business took turn for worse. Worked with some very passionate people that were committed to being a change maker.

Cons

Highest level of management did not have the foresight to change, a lot of talk but no action. No accountability at the highest level which led to implementation failing. Hubris, unrealistic growth expectations, perceived value on the global stage.
