Pros

decent pay, good mission, opportunities to positively effect change in patients lives

Cons

Recently demonstrating little to no loyalty to employees and seem to care more about being on site 3 days a week that productivity or any other measurable innovative outcome. Now seem to care more about obedience than anything else. Current autocratic leanings will feel stifling to innovative productive people who dislike rules for rules sake or who create disruption with innovation.

Pros

- Robust pipeline - Secondment and training opportunities

Cons

- Below-indutry compensation - Disconnect between corporate "vision" and actions (e.g., mandatory 3-day/week in-office attendance for "innovative collaboration" but no support for in-person team meetings if travel is required; claim of hiring the "best talent" but only in cheaper locations (US hiring is flat, but Canada, India and Barcelona are supported)
