Pros: I joined CVS out of college, so it was my first full-time job as a software developer. I joined under one of their university programs, so I had great benefits such as traveling to a few big cities in the state, like New York. I worked with great teams, and management was good, too. I worked remotely, so work-life balance was good. But I also feel like I worked a lot because "work" was always there with me at home, and I could log in any time.

Cons: Not really cons. I feel fortunate to have had this job since it was remote, so I had very flexible hours. But like I said, it felt like work never ended. I changed a few managers in my nearly 3 years there; not sure if that was bad. Unfortunately, I was laid off due to their financial mistakes of acquiring new companies at really expensive valuations. But oh well, life happens, and one moves on. Overall, I cannot complain. Work is work, and in my experience, at least, it was good.

Pros: Good people and good experience

Cons: Got shut down pretty quickly.

Pros: Access to free upskilling resources and opportunities to develop deep healthcare expertise while working with cutting-edge technologies. The company actively adopts new tech trends, and strong remote work policies offer genuine flexibility.

Cons: New employees joining at the junior level face a lengthy path to equity compensation, with no RSUs available until reaching the Lead level—typically a 4-5 year timeline. Additionally, compensation challenges include non-competitive base pay, limited bonus structures, and modest annual raises.
