Pros

- Helping people to get hold of important medicine is a simple goal to get behind. Working on that problem and hearing from people who you've helped makes being motivated easy. - Colleagues in the pharmacy are genuine, lovely and smart

Cons

- There is no long term strategy (or at least one that sticks for more that 6months) making it difficult to 'succeed' and deliver. - The product and engineering team has gone through several restructures in a year as a result of strategy shifts, creating confusion, sapping morale, undermining pre-existing plans. - They've introduced middle managers that lack understanding of how the business works, and are trying to justify their existence instead of providing support to people doing the work. - They've laid off experienced staff as a result of these (questionable) restructures.

Pros

The adrenaline rush when you give your notice in.

Cons

Pitiful management and leadership. Lots of "busy" work which will get shelved randomly. Leadership cliques to rival high school. Zero progression for anyone but sycophants and average vanilla guy/girl. Derogatory, racist, sexist and shamelessly rude managers and leadership team who get away with everything. They pretend to listen but their only skills are micromanagement and corporate bullying. Seriously you deserve better. Don't even bother applying and do anything else with your life than risk being sucked into this toxic prison.
