Pros

The patients and families that are helped by our therapies are always number one. Employees who feel that way will just thrive here. You're also surrounded by great management, smart people, all in a very casual work environment. Its great to work in an environment without a lot of rules or processes.

Cons

Its not necessarily a downside, but you do have to work hard here. This isn't a place where you can expect to do JUST what your job description reads.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
