Pros

It is fulfilling to work on a product that literally saves lives. A lot of opportunities within the organization to learn new technologies, solve challenging architectural problems, and to meet great people. Very proactive, transparent, and accommodating with a fully remote workforce during the pandemic.

Cons

The vision for our product ecosystem is evolving. Sometimes, planning more than 3 months ahead is difficult because the most urgent priorities have not been communicated until the quarter has already started. It would be nice if we had a small set of focused, measurable company goals. It does feel like we have too many "big bets", and there is a gap between team-level goals and overall company direction. Overall, this has been improving in my time here. I'm looking forward to the next couple of years of product development.

Pros

- Ambitious/inspiring company goals - Smart, hardworking people - Regular recognition/compensation increases based on performance - Good benefits - Well-meaning leadership team, making real efforts to listen to employee feedback (real changes implemented based on regular company-wide feedback surveys)

Cons

- While transparency between the exec team and the masses was improving pre-covid, it feels like it has stalled a bit since remote work began - Different parts of the company are relatively siloed, not only between different office locations but between departments, which I think is why these reviews are so polarized. It's alarming and disheartening to read some of the negative reviews when my experience has been so different
