Pros

People are so nice, diverse and intelligent. Environment is pretty relaxed, yet everybody gets their work done. VERY friendly people. So many benefits it makes everybody else jealous (free coffee, free messages, nice company discounts, practically free health insurance),

Cons

No age diversity at all. Very rarely do you see people below the age of 30 (no entry level at all). Sad that only way to go up the later is leave your department and take a higher ranking position is some other department.

Business Outlook

Pros

I love this place. Great workers, a sense of purpose. "Fireside chats" from George let me know exactly what he is thinking, happy or concerned about. A CTO who is really transformative in his approach to making tech work for the business. Being part of a group that is changing healthcare to be more personalized and more efficient. How much more fun it be than that

Cons

It's healthcare still - still some legacy mindsets throughout the industry that FEAR change. Certain external burdens make it harder to make changes for the benefits of the community sometime. Those with conservative values still have to be careful how they present their ideas. Consensus based decision making used a little too often in my opinion.
