Pros

Great place to work. Can get intense during launch of new products or line extensions. Management cares about employees and takes care of them. The ho-ho's are lot of fun and good way to decompress after a long week. Lots of opportunities to train and get better in various areas. Relentless focus on who the company serves- patients.

Cons

May be cost of living adjustment can get better. Certain groups can be really hard to get into. Interviews can be intense and very competitive with so many super smart colleagues.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
