Pros

Good work life / balance. Flexible work location, relatively flexible schedules, respectful manager, interesting and innovative product, opportunity to visit OP, knowledgeable colleagues. The learning curve at the beginning is steep, but there are no high levels of pressure. Collaborative and supportive team. In general the company seems to be trying to improve in many aspects, the internal communication has become more transparent, insightful and open. The feedback is being more taken into account than it used to be.

Cons

Short on career opportunities: no clear Learning&Developement Strategy, no courses or workshops offering. Onboarding process could be better. HR has high rotation, and it does not feel so close to the employee. SCRUM implementation could be better, there is no scrum master, and retrospective meetings are too short or skipped. Company and team events are scarce. Managers from upper levels don't show much interest for having a closer communication with the development teams. There is a general feeling that many decisions are profit rather than quality driven. Department and teams integration could be better and more efficient. There is diversity, but the effort to integrate and include Indian colleagues falls short, specially when compared to German colleagues.

Pros

I think leadership puts a lot of thought into strategy, including the new human imperatives. They're having the right discussions and gathering employee insights. The culture is good and getting better from where i sit (but there is a lot of variability on experiences based on location culture) and I haven't met very many 'weak links' - people are smart and they work hard. Most people really, sincerely care about helping patients.

Cons

The size of the company means career pathing will just be limited. You really have to take control of your path and forge it- you can't wait for the organization to bubble up opportunities for you in a way that may be possible at larger organizations.
