Pros

Healthcare Tech is an interesting as well as challenging area to be in. With many new innovations trying to integrate themselves into older legacy infrastructure that exists in an older dependent industry. Great place to learn and apply a bunch of skills.

Cons

If your good at putting out fires, or ramping things up quickly to prove points. You can get shuffled from fire to fire till its fixed. While it keeps things interesting for the short term, slowly it can wear on you.
