Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.

Pros

Amazing people, mentorship program, and a culture that really believes in their own mission for health and accessibility of your health data. The office is a really nice location with an amazing roof area, and 24-7 office access so you can have a cool spot in Boston for events (such as the 4th of July).

Cons

Depending on the team you're on, you get put to WORK, and as an intern you might not have too many resources available to you for learning and growing if your entire team and mentors are also struggling with their workload. As a 3 month long intern, I noticed there was a slight favoritism towards the co-op employees simply because they were at the company for 6+ months compared to your measly 3, so good luck keeping up with them.
