Pros

The Pay was great. Diverse people.

Cons

Be prepared to work almost every weekend, 60-70 work hours were common. Collaborations with team members from the other side of the world were almost everyday experience so expect to wake up at least an hour earlier before work and perhaps stay until 7pm to catch them when they wake up. Any request for more resources were slogged through management. The whole family thing they tried to spring was total bs to try to get you to work harder. Death marches were an every day thing for the most part. Would never work for them again. I would have gladly stayed at my old job despite it being onsite and two third of the salary. At least then I had a life.

Pros

The company invests time into showing you that you matter to the company. Free breakfast to help you get going in the morning, wonderful ammenities available like the cafeteria, gym with personal trainer and more. Lots of support and team efforts. Truly feels like a family. Benefits galore, some available to you immediately.

Cons

Honestly, I love working for this company and I do not have one negative thing to say about them.

Pros

Working here has officially joined my personal list of the top employers I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of. It will remain at the very top as one of the best work-related experiences of my career. Looking back, I can genuinely say I loved my time with this company. They don't just talk about a supportive culture—they live it every day. They truly set the standard for what a healthcare company and its leadership teams should look like, and they have proven it time and again through their actions. They truly set the benchmark for workplace culture and leadership excellence.

Cons

None to mention really everything was truly great , Fully Remote is the BEST MORE and Productive and Healthiest environment they have fostered .
