Good people, still figuring things out, watch out for the bait and switch
Pros
- The people are friendly. They are genuinely concerned about improving health care. - Since the acquisition/merger, there is a focus on aligning with the goals of the business. - There are interesting problems to tackle and the potential to make a difference.
Cons
- They haven't quite figured things out yet after years of chasing different carrots - Some people are very afraid of losing their jobs and so there is more politics than at a typical startup - There is some burnout among employees after the carrot chasing phase - A significant portion of salary may be from a bonus which is determined by business alignment. But if your team was given the wrong objectives you won't find out until performance reviews when it's too late - There were stock options terms promised that may not be fulfilled or are in limbo with the merger
