Pros

compensation. Some flexibility in work schedule but depends on group/boss you have.

Cons

constantly changing and being told we can not handle change. Management makes statements then makes you wait months to find out what they are about. Once again we are reorganizing and some of their choices for leadership are questionable, did they ever do anything to get feedback of who is a good leader and who is not.

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.
