Pros

Ceo gives lots of information, sometimes too much. Funding seems ok at the moment. Most colleagues seem nice and easy to talk to.

Cons

There is no long term planning or vision. Everyone is just busy putting out fire. Company's current profit margin is too thin and management wants to enter digital health to boost profits. However no one in management really understand digital health. The company wants to go IPO this year- not sure how that's going to happen. Also agree with other comments that people have inflated titles. This company is really top-heavy. Recently even hired a chief people officer! However there is no appreciation of existing employees, when they hire a new person who wants an existing employee's title, they either demote the existing employee or gives the new person an even fancier title. This may contribute to the high turnover of employees.

Pros

- some of middle managers are good but are unfortunately stuck constantly cleaning up the executive teams mess

Cons

- chief of staff more like glorified CEO brown noser - head of product has no idea what’s going on - ultimately the biggest problem here though is there are no consequences: incompetent work doesnt get challenged, competent work doesn’t get rewarded. A select group of favorites can do whatever they want. Even the president who made the most inept judgement calls and had poor management got away with a $20 million golden parachute. Nothing matters unless you are best friends with the CEO. Deliver exceptional work? You’ll get a big THANK YOU! But don’t except a bonus, promotion or salary bump. They really don’t care.
