Pros

Great work/life balance. Compelling vision to fix healthcare. Great leadership team. Very supportive and caring management. One of the best companies I've ever worked for. The culture truly is amazing and diversity and inclusion is not just a mantra, but something very tangible here.

Cons

Sometimes we seem to be a little understaffed for the number of projects we tackle. We run lean and mean and get a lot done but occasionally I'd like a few more resources. I'm also not sure about career ladder progression yet as I'm fairly new. I think they could do better by having more frequent yet smaller promotions.
