Pluspunten

The flex time and vacation policies, as well as compensation benefits, are at par or above for the industry. The insurance benefits are also terrific.

Minpunten

There is a lack in managerial organization and ease of advancement. There is a gaping disconnect between the goals and regulations mandated by upper management and the information given to employees in order to reach these goals. There is also a severe lack of employee morale, and management has not yet found a way to show employees appropriate appreciation, nor purge the department of its exasperated attitude. There is also clear evidence to show that, at least within this department, that advancement is nearly impossible. I have colleagues 10+ years my senior who are still doing the same job I am, or worse yet, used to have more clout and responsibility and now are back doing their entry level jobs.

Pluspunten

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Minpunten

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
