Pros
I have been a part of a handful of mission driven companies before, and this is the first one that consistently invests in truly doing what is best to achieve the goal of reversing diabetes for 100 million people by 2025. I have been in meetings where the decision being made is centered around "what would be best for our patients"-- a testament to the desire to really serve those for whom we are building the company. Management takes the mission seriously and is consistently open to feedback from teammates on the best way to solve problems. the work is hard, but incredibly fulfilling. I get to see a lot of the patient feedback and am so proud of the impact that we have. I look forward to going to work and partnering with really kind, smart, mission-driven people to solve a major issue in the world.
Cons
The work can be challenging, and I think each employee has to figure out the right balance for themselves. Also, there is always a lag between when we are working on something and when it might get built into the technology, so that can be tough.
