Pros

- The mission: fighting cancer and women's health - The corporate koolaid is strong, but leaves one refreshed and has a great after-taste (buy-in on the company direction, mission, etc. is legitimate and easily noticeable across the organization) - Multi-discipline development team with talented engineers across functions - Desire to develop software "the right way", just requires some effort (e.g., management very supportive of process change where and when sensible, though a strong technical leader is required to define and execute the change)

Cons

These are minor complaints that are easily forgotten about due to the pros. - Un-glamorous industrial facility - Often contention on lab space/resources

Pros

Lots of talented people within the organization. Great focus on women's health. They paid pretty good salaries, as long as you worked hard, and they also gave great bonuses. The work-life balance was good, but that was only a reflection of my direct supervisor.

Cons

For a company that was focused on women's health, there were no women working in any top management positions. The top management had no clue how to make the workers feel important or that they were making a difference. They basically gave the impression that the bottom line was the only important thing to consider.

Pros

Excellent People, Middle/Lower Management Very insightful and people oriented. Great emphasis on product innovation and quality at the lower levels. Very well treated as an employee and professional.

Cons

Upper management run by good 'old boy network. Decisions seem arbitrary. Lots of Platitudes from the top, followed by doing the exact opposite in the business. Very disappointing business outlook. Claim to have an open process, but sadly, it is just form and not function. Business seems to be positioning itself to be sold.
