Pros

The people who actually do the work are fantastic and care about doing the right thing for patients and the company. Remote work is supported Plenty of opportunities to have your voice and opinion heard (as long as you are white, male, abled, presumed cis and straight).

Cons

Increasingly intense micromanagement from absurdly high levels of the org chart. SVPs get involved in the smallest individual contributer decision-making, no matter how little these SVPs actually understand about the process, policy or technology in question. Engineers with 4 decades of experience are routinely overruled or ignored if their expertise disagrees with a manager's google search results. They will refuse to hire people to relieve crushing workloads, while piling on more work, until current workers burn out and quit. Individual contributers are constantly given more responsibility and accountability for achieving unachievable goals, while also given no power or decision-making ability, If you're too loud and not white enough or male enough, you will be fired, no matter how much work you actually do. They will then express surprise that there is so much work to be done, and not enough people. If every woman left at once, the whole company would collapse, and there are not that many women there. While I was there, there were several rounds of layoffs and re-orgs and through it all, the people who were causing the most damage and creating the most toxicity in the culture survived and are still working there today. No matter how many HR reports were filed against them. There is constantly too much work and not enough resources and zero accountability for the people who create the problems. This company wastes incredible amounts of money on operational initiatives that are introduced with a lot of fanfare and are then starved for resources until they are abandoned when a viable scapegoat is identified and fired. Then the process starts all over again.

Pros

My direct supervisor was exceptional because she had to pivot in roles on the fly, yet maintained clear expectations, guidance and support for the team.

Cons

Company is constantly restructuring, eliminating positions yet putting the extra work on the people that remain without aligning the compensation with the increased responsibility.
