Business Outlook

Pros

This is absolutely a place where I can do my life's work. The people here are insanely mission-oriented and truly dedicated to helping others. The challenges are real - it's a pro and a con. It makes you bring your A-game, and feels energizing. But what we're doing isn't easy at all.

Cons

It's not for everyone. If you just want a "job," don't come here. This is more than a job, it's part of our lives and the mission is personal. You have to deeply care about making a difference in the world.

Business Outlook

Pros

- outstanding culture of collaboration, debate, learning and accomplishment - high expectations coupled with plenty of room to own projects end to end and make a real impact - mission driven (truly, more than anywhere else I've ever worked) - on a path to fundamentally change healthcare and impact literally billions of people - full time in person (in a world of online interactions, this is just plain good for us as human beings!) - dynamic team structures that create opportunities for a broad experience across teams

Cons

- the weekly evening staff meeting is super engaging and has a real positive culture impact, but sometimes the timing is difficult to fit into my personal life

Pros

Mission, culture, tech-focused strategy and the ultimate path towards making this world a better place if we're successful.

Cons

As expected for a startup trying to disrupt established healthcare, the demands can be high and challenging - well with it in my opinion
