Pluspunten

Good science, lot of projects to work on and promising portfolio.

Minpunten

Many re-orgs this year. Good people at management level are leaving and people with little or no management skills are given their positions. Favoritism and Nepotism is very rampant - can be seen in who they hire, who is given promotion and who gets the "most visible" projects. Lack of innovation and some projects seem redundant with unnecessary more stress on resources.

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.
