Pros

Super great Technology. You will learn a lot. Very nice people (mostly) and the technology is cutting edge for Radio therapy for Cancer. Patients are being treated right now at Stanford and soon, other sites. Well organized and good support. Good medical coverage. Pay is slightly above average.

Cons

No bonuses (only for a lucky few). Stock grants are poor for most, excessive for Directors. There are 1 director for each 7 employees.. many with no direct reports. Lateral job movement is very rare... transfer to other groups rarely happens (and thus, you're stuck doing what you're hired for). Little information to the rank and file about $$ in the back or the Burn Rate. Good news shouted out in meetings, bad news.. never happened. ** Seams many of these postings are SHORT (too short) and probably management trying to give the company "5 stars" ... Slack messaging rarely stops.. on weekends/night you get messages.

Pros

The mission is compelling, and you'll work alongside some genuinely smart, motivated people who care about what they're building. At the team level, there's real camaraderie, people show up for each other even when things get hard. You'll rarely be bored since the work is varied and you'll develop skills across areas you didn't expect. Pay is reasonable, and for someone who wants to grow fast, the environment will force that growth whether you're ready for it or not

Cons

The instability is hard to ignore. Multiple rounds of layoffs in a short window have left a lot of people either burned out or quietly planning their exit, if they haven't exited already. It's tough to stay focused on building something when the ground keeps shifting beneath you. Leadership has not always inspired confidence. There's a pattern of decisions being made without enough input from the people who actually understand the problem, and when things go sideways, accountability tends to be murky. The people closest to the work often end up absorbing the consequences of decisions they had no part in making. How the company handles difficult moments says a lot about its culture, and some of those moments haven't been handled well. Employees deserve better communication, especially when their livelihoods are on the line. Benefits are a weak spot. No 401k matching in particular lags behind what comparable companies offer.
