Pros

- The company is developing products that help save lives - The company cares about employees with training and development opportunities and lots of efforts around diversity and inclusion - It's a global company with many interactions with colleagues across the globe - I feel like there is recognition of a job well done and not only through salary, but the opportunity to get credit for work being delivered, which was not always the case in past companies - They're open to flexible ways of working - The opportunity to develop yourself, if you put in the work, it will pay off

Cons

- time zone differences make it difficult to keep to "regular" business hours
