Pros

Great products that save lives (in many cases), genuinely smart, caring, motivated people

Cons

Mercurial, selfish maniacs run the place. Culture starts with Miles and he runs it like Lord of the Flies. Happy to still be a shareholder, glad to be working somewhere else. Mobility limited because everyone is covering themselves/protecting their pension.
