Pros
pMD is not a startup, but the culture and working environment offer a lot of the same advantages. You're expected to wear many hats. People wear casual clothes to the office. There is a kitchen stocked with food and a giant beer fridge. We have a private plane. The office is beautiful and modern looking. We all have fancy cutting-edge MacBooks and giant hi-res Cinema Displays. The team feels like a big family, and it's a flat organization with no tolerance for the stifling bureaucracy that plagues large corporations. Since we're not a startup, we don't have to answer to investors. We control the company's destiny, which is quite empowering and allows us to be fairly nimble. pMD has been a great experience for me. We do a great job hiring ambitious, energetic, positive, hard-working individuals that also love to have fun. The team is an absolute pleasure to work with. The products are well-designed and I truly believe that we are a disruptive force in the healthcare industry. This is the place to work if you want to change the world. Change, especially in healthcare, can be incredibly difficult; pMD embraces that challenge and expects employees to do the same. That's one of my favorite things about working for pMD.
Cons
pMD is a small company with a great product and a largely untapped market, so there's always more work to do. You're given a lot of latitude and as much responsibility as you can handle. Although I sometimes take on demanding projects that require long hours and a lot of travel, I find the work rewarding and I have a ton of great experience to show for it. I really enjoy working with people that have high expectations for themselves and the people around them. Regardless of tenure, the people that work hard and produce results are rewarded and promoted. Since it can feel like a pressure cooker at times, it might not be the right place for everybody. To do well at pMD, you have to be open to adapting and growing into new roles as the needs of the company and the industry change.
