Pros

ADC has great compensation. People stay for the money. Benefits are pretty good (though a bit less than bay area tech standards). FreeStyle Libre is an exciting product and really helps people with diabetes.

Cons

Negative work environment. No work life balance. Expect night and weekend work. You are paid well so the expectation is that you will work all the time. Fire drill focused. Very hierarchical. "Do as your told" culture. Questioning decisions is looked down on and you will be punished if you don't fall in line. Work is not enjoyable.
