Pros
Market leading technology that I'm proud to work with. The entire field based team is outstanding and dedicated to their customers. Pay is good, and seems to be above industry average. Opportunities for career growth are available to high performers. The company is growing and managing the growth well and is positioned to be a leader in the field of personalized medicine. It's been a fun story to be a part of and I'm looking forward to the next several years.
Cons
One additional week of vacation per year across the board would go a long way toward supporting morale and recruiting. It's hard to convince someone with 3-4 weeks of vacation per year to take a position only offering 2 weeks to start. Even small cost of living adjustments annually would also be appreciated and would bolster retention. After 2 years at the same salary, employees start to feel stuck regardless of how rewarding the job is. In the absence of stock options I'm often looking for additional ways to feel like I'm sharing in the continued success of the company and its bright future. Something like a profit sharing plan would be highly motivating.
