Good but not for long term

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.

Pros

Opportunity to work on projects with genuine impact in healthcare. Exposure to senior stakeholders and a broad range of consulting work.

Cons

Talent management and promotion decisions reflect quality of leadership and often not based on merit, creating perceptions of favouritism and undermining confidence in leadership. The organisation rewards visibility and internal politics over collaboration and subject matter expertise. Many individuals seem more focused on personal advancement and building their own profile than supporting teams or developing others. Psychological safety can be lacking, with employees feeling reluctant to raise concerns and do the right thing.
