Pros

Great product, great mission. The product saves lives and has a great market potential.

Cons

Don't expect a work/life balance. You will work long days and weekends an then get rated average, at best. Management talks about having empowered, engaged employees, then micromanages and doesn't miss a chance to knock you down for any reason. The EMS systems (annual reviews) are about criticism and hypocrisy. If you don't don't fit for any reason (doesn't matter how well you perform at your job) they will, surprise, walk you out the door. This company is where careers got to die.
