Pros

Great engineering team. Every engineer/architect was of high quality. The software that is being developed is used in the hospitals and actually helps doctors and radiologies make better decisions about patients. Not a lot of over time, if you can manage your work in 40 hours per week.

Cons

Corporate culture. If you don't control your own career the management is not going to help you. Lots of red tape and bureaucracy, it takes forever to approve a decision, or if you need something done. Very small salary increases. No bonuses. No holiday parties either or any type of team building activities.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
