Pros

The vision to be the best healthcare company in the world. They go big! The company is compassionate towards it people in almost all cases.

Cons

Slow to change, despite efforts that realize they need to. "Bad eggs" are not removed. They are kept long after it has been clear they should go.

Cons

cons? not at this goldmine; everyday is better than the one before; there is not one negative aspect at working for this wonderful company
