Pros

- This company focuses more on creating big changes for healthcare in the long run, rather than just meeting short-term goals. This means they don't rush things and try to do everything correctly. That can be very challenging at times! - It's a really well-connected company. Since all parts of the company work together, you'll have many chances to work with different teams and roles. - You'll have plenty of chances to present your work and get feedback. Most groups in the company have regular meetings with bosses, where anyone can discuss their projects. - The company's leaders have proven that they're good at managing money. Even when the economy slows down, they've been able to keep things running smoothly.

Cons

- This place might not be the best if you want to lead a large group or need to have a steady group of people reporting directly to you. They often change things around to make the company work better, rather than keeping things the same. - This company doesn't offer many of the popular benefits that others might. Its pay is more average, not among the highest. - If you need to know exactly what your job will look like or how your career will grow, this might not be the right place for you. This is true for most rapidly growing startups, but it's important to be clear about it.

Pros

Great for those who fundamentally want to spend their waking hours changing the wold & are willing to put in the effort. * The vision is audacious & world-changing - truly centered on changing the world for the better * Teammates are the smartest, kindest, most passionate, mission-driven group anywhere. No office politics or infighting - everyone cares about the mission 1st & foremost * This is a place to do your life's work - There is no end to the work to be done, the challenges to surmount, or the impact you can have It's not for everyone, but if the above sound appealing, there *is no better place* for you.

Cons

This is not the place for you if: * You want an easy job * You care more about yourself than the mission (e.g. you want a lot of $$$, a fancy title, a comfortable lifestyle, etc) * You want to ride a startup rocket ship to cash out & retire when it goes public

Pros

- Highly motivating mission and a sound strategy to achieve the mission. - Smart, driven, caring, and fun teammates. - Lots of hard problems to solve. Plenty of opportunity to grow and develop. - Opportunity to move between teams and roles. It's all about maximizing your contribution. This mindset opens doors you wouldn't think of, but it's untraditional: no levels, no titles, etc.

Cons

- It's a demanding work environment. The people here are smart, hardworking, and team oriented people who want to make a positive impact on the world. I want the same, and I don't want to let my team down. So it's easy to give too much. To be successful and happy here you need to set collaborative boundaries and build habits that refill your cup. - Management is supportive, although busy. If you're not a good communicator you can get left behind.
