Pros

A product that could actually be useful, large clean office, good coffee.

Cons

The company literally has more managers, VPs and directors than regular employees and despite that nobody is responsible for anything. Rather than taking steps on solving problems the management prefers to have countless meetings where employees are told how lucky they are to work for such a great company and are expected to tell the management what to do to solve those problems. The software department is a mess. The developers have to write and implement their own requirements. And when things don’t work as they should, the preferred way of dealing with most problems is to justify why it’s not important to fix them now and defer them until further patches (which by the time they’re released will have a bunch of new bugs added). “No code ownership” policy means you will spend majority of your time dealing with other people’s messes and won’t get any credit for it. And if you happen to complete your assignments on time without adding any major bugs to work on later, good luck trying to get a clear direction on what to do after that. Most likely you will be given some task just to keep you busy and will be told later on that a feature you spent a week implementing was a “prototype” (that nobody had a chance to see) and has to be redone. Ultimately working there feels completely unrewarding and kills any desire to improve on the product.

Pros

Product really works and has changed the lives of so many men.

Cons

Unfortunately, most of the leadership at Profound acts like it is their first day in MedTech, probably because for most of them this is their first job... ever. There is no functional business model that drives revenue. Instead of focusing on building a revenue driving business model, leadership just chases niche ideas or chasing the 'competitors' until they amount to nothing. Wasting time, money, and resources. Unfortunately, layoffs happen every 6 months because the team also doesn't know how to balance a checkbook and budget.
