Pros

The mission is AMAZING - detecting cancer early is an awesome ability and has potential to save many

Cons

Upper management is wildly out of touch with the day-to-day. If you wish to be promoted within the CX organization you need to join a certain church and take on all responsibilities outside of your job title/description for years before being considered.
