Pros

Great location in the SF near transportation. Lot's of places to eat nearby.

Cons

I expected so much more from a "health care" company that has been in business for over 75 years. What I witnessed was complete organizational dysfunction, no work life balance, too much emphasis on reducing administrative cost at the expense of employees and management who views employees as disposable. Very little mentoring of employees or proactive thinking in HR. In a highly regulated environment one would expect a lot of rigor around corporate policy and procedure and establishing a strong corporate structure. The final straw was listening to unprofessional foul language by Senior Managers in meetings and outside of meetings. Completely inappropriate in the corporate environment.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
