Pros

Organization is working on evolving to a global medical organization, and trying to do it "right" so they spend considerable time and money to create new processes, train and evolve the organization. There is alot of opportunity, and most leaders are excellent.

Cons

Over time, the lack of a technical infrastructure to share information (ie an organized, one access, shared folder structure on one Sharepoint where people can acess information and share information as it evolves) would really help the organization. Many teams are "silo'ed" and work habits tend to follow that culture. Working within this can seem Byzantine-like.

Pros

I've been a full-time employee for about three months after converting to an FTE role, and I don't regret the decision one bit. The company culture is outstanding, and it's clear that leadership genuinely cares about the success and development of its employees. There are plenty of opportunities for learning, growth, and career advancement. The people are supportive, collaborative, and invested in helping one another succeed. It's a place where you feel valued and encouraged to do your best work.

Cons

The company has been somewhat slower than some competitors in embracing AI and driving AI-related innovation, although meaningful progress is being made. Change can also take time, particularly among more tenured employees who are accustomed to established ways of working. That said, the growing mix of experienced employees and newer talent is helping accelerate positive change and bring fresh perspectives.
