Pros

The people I work with except anyone in my department charged with providing any sense of direction or actual management.

Cons

The leader has a good sense of humour but being the loudest person in the room is starting to wear a bit thin when there is no substance behind it Nothing has changed in the last few years. Still too many silos in the department, no strategy from above and everyone in it for themselves. We hide behind big initiatives (latest one being AI) when we struggle to get the basics right. Even my own manager can't provide any guidance or support as they are kept in the dark or are informed at the eleventh hour about most things. Working with Product Owners is more a case of the blind leading the blind and who knows if they even know what their roles are nowadays. In summary, once you cut through all the humour, loudness and finger pointing elsewhere, nothing has changed in Product Management and I don't think it will with the current leadership

Pros

Work that directly contributes to safer care and better patient outcomes. Strong sense of purpose—you can see how what you do impacts real people. Passionate, mission-driven colleagues across the organization. Opportunity to shape how we support healthcare systems at a critical time. Growing commitment to aligning with customer realities and reducing complexity.

Cons

Pace of change is high and can create ambiguity at times. Processes, internal alignment, and ways of working are still evolving. Requires proactive communication and ownership to navigate effectively.

Pros

The people I worked directly with were supportive and talented, and there were opportunities to learn if you were proactive.

Cons

Leadership frequently shifted priorities, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies or feel like work had a lasting impact. Communication around organizational changes often lacked transparency, which created uncertainty and hurt morale. The marketing organization felt under-resourced relative to expectations, and employees were expected to do more with less. Career growth and compensation did not feel competitive with the market, and recognition for strong work was inconsistent. If you’re looking for a stable environment with clear direction and long-term investment in employees, look elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're saddened to hear that you felt there was a lack of vision during your time with us, and we understand and hear your concerns. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Our newer Career Elevation Strategy gives global team members visibility into career progression, and even more recently, we are working on a rewards strategy as part of that effort. Additionally, we're currently working on guiding our direction by setting clear goals, inspiring teams, and improving resources for managers, which in turn will provide stronger leadership for our teammates. We appreciate your perspective and wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
