Pros

- Excellent perks for tech team, WFH options, free food, good parties, quarterly meetups - Very niche product with a good scope (if the right people come and remove some of the worst lines of code in the history of mankind)

Cons

- There is this Indian VP guy at the top, he puts his nose into departments he is not responsible for. I am not saying he is bad or anything. He has friendly ties with some women in the Indian tech counterpart and he favours them all the time even if they are not doing their job properly. - The technical leadership is the worst that anyone will experience. Super immature and inexperienced in handling large codebases. - You work with some senior developers/testers who are not very technically sound, immature professionally and mostly rude.

Pros

the ceo likes to make fun of diversity equity and inclusion in private meetings

Cons

the company core leadership all come from a company called pharmacm and they maintain a high school-like clique culture if you are not part of what is essentially their tight-knit circle of friends you will be micro-managed and treated like a second class citizen training is non-existent you are expected to know the clinical trial industry and the minutia of the product within 60 days asking questions is forbidden
