Pros

Strong brand and stability in healthcare/data, which looks good on a CV and supports career mobility. Often good work‑life balance and remote/flexible options in many teams, especially for non‑field roles. Interesting, large‑scale data and international projects that can deepen technical and domain expertise. Decent overall benefits and supportive coworkers in many units, even if pay is not top‑tier.

Cons

Promotions and pay increases are often slow or modest, leading to frustration once you’re past early‑career stages. Resourcing and workload can be uneven: some teams are understaffed and high‑pressure, especially during peak periods. Management and culture vary heavily by manager and project; “good manager vs bad manager” can define the whole experience. Internal growth and visibility can feel opaque, with some employees reporting poor HR processes and limited long‑term progression.

Pros

- Great work / life balance, leadership wonderful dependent on team, collaborative coworkers, everyone try to help each other

Cons

- internal processes too long, hard to progress career if you are not loyal to certain leaders, sometimes we get in our own way to service our customers, internal bottlenecks between sales and delivery at times. If you are someone who likes to follow processes this is a good place, if you are someone who thinks outside of the box and pushes the envelope of change for betterment or more efficiency - you could be frustrated
