Pros

Really great people at Director level and below. Knowledgeable, friendly, good work ethic. They make it all happen!

Cons

Atmosphere since 2022 has become increasingly toxic. Many more instances of unethical behavior and unprofessionalism by Executive directors and VPs. Good employees have started just “disappearing” with no explanation as to what happened and why they’re gone. Found out later they were laid off due to unannounced downsizing with no plan on how their work would be covered. Cannot work like this, which I believe is the point- to push folks out so the company doesn’t have to pay severance. Beware!

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
