Pros

It’s rare to find a place where the work is both technically challenging and has a direct path to saving lives. The team is full of low-ego, smart people who are easy to work with, which makes for a great collaborative environment. If you want to apply AI to problems that have real-world impact, this is the place to do it.

Cons

Like most high-growth startups, you have to be comfortable with a fast pace and the occasional pivots that come with being at the forefront of a new field. Navigating the intersection of agile R&D and rigorous clinical compliance can be complex.
