Pros

There is some great vision from David as the CEO and some genuine patient-centricity that isn't present in other companies but.......

Cons

There is deep inequality; ”Face-fitters" and "average yes men" get promoted leading to mediocre performance. We talk about integration yet buy companies with no interest in actually learning what made them good in the first place (and trying to incorporate it!). Business Development..... Do lots of deals but to hell with the reality of that deal and the (lack of) opportunity it brings. There are no processes, no collaboration........ The company runs on the goodwill of a few (and will burn them out until they either don't care or are spent). Employees aren't held to account.

Pros

Good work environment, nice office Great internal social activities Very nice people

Cons

Location of the office not very attractive... Important turnover... many people leave, no loyalty... The company hires people based on their hard skills than soft ones... Old fashioned management, micromanagement, not inclusive, no collaborative approach , lack of good managers.... Did not feel trusted and felt very limited... Information is not shared, "information is power" Lack of internal process HR struggle to retain talents
