Pros

You get your salary on time

Cons

Where do I even start. 1. Absolutely no scope for personal growth and improvement 2. Blatant favoritism when it comes to promotions. Folks who had less than 6 months of experience in the company were made managers and one guy was made a manager and a director in a span of 3 months. 3. Top management are bunch of hypocrites 4. Mid level management folks are only trying to secure their jobs so will follow ANY order given to them 5. You are very important until the product is submitted. Once submitted, no one in the top management cares for you 6. Shady promotions 7. No technical training in the past 2+ years 8. Lot of talented people left because the management failed them 9. Hopeless and incapable VPs (at least in R&D) 10. You will be called inefficient if you don't work more than 50 or 60 hours a week.

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.
