Pros

Really passionate, dedicated, knowledgeable employees Legacy employees have been very loyal and poured heart and soul into building company and creating nice atmosphere Great salary, stocks, bonus and perks

Cons

Previous leadership believed in total secrecy so you never knew what was coming until it hit you, or where or why decisions were made. Current leadership announces plans to early without any plans being in place so everyone lives in constant anxiety knowing job cuts are coming. 4 rounds of job cuts in 2024, and every time they've made a cut, they announce the next one, so for those that survive, you're always waiting anxiously for next one. Impossible to remain motivated and thrive in this environment. There is an overall feeling of anxiety and being in edge. Morale is very low in what used to be a really nice, family feel company. Latest drive to make it a profitable company has lost the mission of it being a company about the patients, you can feel it becoming a cash cow and the employees are the ones put under constant pressure to make it profitable

Pros

New leadership has been a breath of fresh air. Psychological safety improving and people are allowed to be people under the new leadership. The addition of James Sabry is a great signal and the M&A deals show positive momentum.

Cons

Need a more robust pipeline.
