Good and bad.

Pros

There is no doubt this company is a top dog in the Medicine biz. Benefits are fantastic.

Cons

I think the company is politically sound, with it's policies and whatnot. The CEO seems like a caring person, and strives to make his employees successful. There is, however a soft underbelly of what is happening here. Working in the trenches, there is much racism and bullying. I mean not even trying to hide it. I've grinned and beared it for some time. Being a person who has strong equality beliefs, I feel as if I have to maintain my composure most times, or just walk away from situations. I think it's not known to top managment that this is occuring, as many are afraid to report such things.

Pros

Good benefits (401k, dental, health), etc.

Cons

Very old school mentality/culture. If you are not “in” with the managers or a suck up, you will feel like an outlier. Push to be back in the office just to take team meetings from your cube. High pressure, lots of work & lack of acknowledgment and support from managers.

Pros

Salaries are great for the work required. Benefits are good. The company does genuinely seem to try and retain their employees where they can during layoffs (but this benefits them b/c it keeps their unemployment insurance from going up) There is a diversity to be found in leadership, less so the higher you go. Company cars are a nice treat for field employees.

Cons

Leadership is very toxic and it trickles down. Toxic people are promoted consistently, some are obnoxiously and embarrassingly cruel. The whole company culture is built on shaking hands and nodding at the "great work" the company does for patients, completely ignoring the fact that profits are the main objection (it's a for profit company, let's just be honest about it). LOTS of Kool aid drinking here. It all feels like a massive misdirection. Vomit roses about how good the company is and then turn savagely on any employee that challenges the system. It's such an over-the-top denial of how toxic the company is that it might give you whiplash. Also, very much not eco friendly. The amount of packages and packaging material that is sent out is ridiculous. Fleet vehicles could use to be hybrids or electric. If the company cares soooo much about health how about we pollute less?
