Pros

Great teammates that help you get through the day especially month end. Ok product. Can't think of anything else to say. Not too many pros about working here.

Cons

Horrible leadership and HR. You have to be married to someone to get promoted. Lots of favoritism and nepotism. Lots of fraud goes on to get ahead.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Field personnel are very highly qualified.

Cons

It's become every man/woman for him/herself. Leadership looks forward only as far as the next quarter.

Pros

Following the recent layoffs in 2025 at Diabetes, there isn't much to recommend this place. I am looking for a new job, despite currently having one.

Cons

This place does not invest in employees. Managers often hire friends or prioritize hiring individuals with visas, allowing them to be overworked and underpaid. The last layoff resulted in the dismissal of many long-term employees, so a significant amount of work that no one knows how to do has been redistributed. The ratings this year were calibrated with input from directors and SVPs, not from managers. The only ratings that were four or above were those of friends of the directors or people they were concerned would leave after the recent round of layoffs. The nepotism in this place is absurd.
