Pros

Benefits are great. A few decent managers. Seems to embrace inclusion and diversity

Cons

Trying to become a Biotech company but is still run by former primary care managers who are not embracing biotech culture and account selling ways. Horrible company culture full of phonies who are only after elevating themselves. Top talent is leaving in droves due to lack of advancement and being taken advantage of time after time and being passed over for less talented people.
