Pluspunten
I have been with Sentient for a little over a year now. I was hired in as a trainee candidate with no previous IOM experience, but did have a health sciences-related degree. The transition was quite smooth for me, and everything I have experiences so far is exactly what I signed up for. The management team was very insightful during the interviews -- explaining both the positives and negatives of the job. I will say the unpredictability of the hours (because we are working in an OR-setting) was probably the hardest transition, but they certainly made it clear that this was the expectation and norm prior to being hired.
Pros from what I've experienced/seen so far:
- Salary/Compensation - I interviewed with several IOM companies and was made offers by 2 others, and Sentient's starting salary was higher
- Mgmt tends to promote from within, so I feel like I have room to grow into advanced roles like management
- Opportunity to earn extra money by working overtime
- They reimbursed me and gave a raise for passing the CNIM
Minpunten
Unpredictability of the OR, but to be expected in the field. However, I knew this going in and this is what I signed up for. Other than that, I'm pretty happy.
