Business Outlook

Pros

Focused on growth of both the company and its people; clarity on the right way to do both, building a strong foundation and platform; incredibly smart, driven team, led by purpose, not ego

Cons

'Own it' is one of the cultural pillars and it is persistent in the day to day, so not a place for folks looking to be just another cog in the wheel

Business Outlook

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.
