Pros

Senior leadership really does have a strong commitment to core values We are a world leader in our industry We work hard to ensure equal access to life saving drugs for under-served regions of the world I'm proud of the presence we have in every community we serve I work with some of the most amazing people I've ever met

Cons

I read it in other comments and have to agree, middle management is killing us The vision and passion of our executive and senior leadership is completely lost in translation on the way to implementation Our benefits have taken a ridiculous nosedive and unless something changes, many of us will no longer be able to afford to work here

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
