      Pros

      I don't see pros today if you are not а friend of a management or are ready to work 12 hours per day.

      Cons

      R&D and development has been cut to one project. There is fuzzy future research and development where I don’t see any perspectives. Company started a practice of pushing employee to leave because of luck of work through PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) despite of a clear “lay off” situation. Why to pay a severance package if you can kick out employee for free (yes, based on “at will employment”)? It is a big amount of employee who left company recently after getting PIP. Guess why? If somebody likes to work in this kind of environment, then fine, good luck.

      Pros

      I think leadership puts a lot of thought into strategy, including the new human imperatives. They're having the right discussions and gathering employee insights. The culture is good and getting better from where i sit (but there is a lot of variability on experiences based on location culture) and I haven't met very many 'weak links' - people are smart and they work hard. Most people really, sincerely care about helping patients.

      Cons

      The size of the company means career pathing will just be limited. You really have to take control of your path and forge it- you can't wait for the organization to bubble up opportunities for you in a way that may be possible at larger organizations.
