Pros

Benefits, Beautiful Campus, and great products. It is well respected among others in the industry but not among many healthcare professionals because of a level of arrogance among its employees.

Cons

People are extremely arrogant. If you are an outsider good luck on advancing within the organization. It has nothing to do with gender but you are either in the club or not - despite being called an innovative organization

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
