Pros
1. The overall goal of the company is very exciting, and if executed right, it will have a massive impact on the GI field.
Cons
1. The company grew very quickly in the past year or so, but this was not done strategically. As a result, roles and expectations are unclear and shift on a monthly basis. This results in people being fired and laid off, which makes employees feel disposable and negatively impacts morale. 2. While all start-ups experience growing pains and restructuring, I would argue the rate that IS pivots is due to a lack of strategy. No team seems to have a clear sense of the company's direction, or how their work can contribute to the overall mission. Leadership has stated they would provide a review of company strategy multiple times, and at each point they have skirted the issue. 3. The company does not provide industry-standard salaries, and there are very wide pay discrepancies within teams between colleagues who have very similar roles and levels of expertise. 4. Communication is not done with intention. Employees will find out that their role, manager, or team has changed in a meeting or casual slack/email.
