Pros
- Meaningful work, get to see the impact you have on the world. - Best, most innovative customers. We work with the organizations that are changing healthcare, both clinically and technology wise. - No micro-management, can be very autonomous. - High levels of ownership and trust, very little bureaucracy. - Full-stack and full-life-cycle (not just coding, developers do design, problem exploration, immersion with users, code review, project planning, product visioning, etc.) - Tons of opportunities to try new things, grow new skills. People management, product management, expert/owner of a module or project, and MANY more. - Good technology culture, run by developers. - GREAT benefits (best health insurance, 4-week sabbatical, stock ownership, competitive pay, on-site food and other services, etc.) - Wonderful, motivated, fun co-workers. - Culture is open and accessible, open to new ideas and feedback. - Flexible schedule.
Cons
- There's no "ladder" to climb. This is bittersweet: you are valued for your contributions no matter your management level, but it can sometimes feel like you're stuck. You need to be able to identify ways to grow and direct your own career to maximize your happiness.
