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.
