Pros

- Many colleagues care about their work and try to improve things. - Company retreats are fun. - Healthcare is a stable industry, and somewhat noble.

Cons

- Management pushes for speed instead of solid engineering. - The codebase is a mess. Constant pressure to ship means technical debt stays ignored. - Leadership measures success using useless metrics like lines of code and PR counts. - Priorities shift constantly. - Frequent layoffs and high turnover. - A lot of overtime. - Compensation is average.

Pros

Lots of learning opportunities (pathways, management, ops, product, quality, external leadership) Diverse team & backgrounds (multiple professional, ethnic and nationalities bring their learnings to the table) Inspiring individuals doing big things in healthcare Unique opportunity in consumer healthcare as a NHS trained doctor

Cons

Fast paced environment - you have to accept a degree of uncertainty as you pivot to moving goalposts. Totally polar opposite to the NHS glacial pace of change - not a fit for everyone
