Pros

New innovations to save lives.

Cons

I concur with some of the reviews i have read as far as room for growth and nepotism is concerned. Your point of view doesn't matter, managers are not willing to listen to a different prespective. Company needs to understand that diverse employees bring new and diverse ideas which should be atleast heard and not just ignored. Company lacks diversity. Only select few get promoted which leaves a feeling of resentment and unfair business tactics. My advise please send managers to proper training. Since majority of the managers are in that position not based on their qualifications but on the basis of who they knew in the department. Treat everyone with respect and LISTEN to your employees and truly invest in their future. And promote people based on their skills and not who they know.
