Pros

Some of the most intelligent and easy to get along with coworkers that I've ever had. No micromanagement from senior managers. Great idea and mission behind the company.

Cons

Top management is both lost and a lost cause. Instead of micromanaging, they go to the other end of the spectrum and provide little to no direction or oversight, and constantly add or change tasks without consideration of the person's time. They insist that there is upward mobility, but no mentoring or training of new skills is ever provided by senior managers. Instead, some people take it upon themselves to acquire new skills that are necessary to take their job to the next level. Unfortunately, even when people improve their skills or take on additional tasks, there is rarely a reconsideration of salary. Raises, promotions, and even cost of living increases seem to be few and far between (or even nonexistent), expect for a couple favorites of the CEO. I've been here for almost about a year and I think that there are more people that were hired after me, then there are that were there before me.

Pros

Salary and decent benefits. Remote work. Quality improvement team is doing some important work.

Cons

Organization harvests data from people with T1D via their registry. While the patient users of this registry may think that their data is going to diabetes research for a cure, in fact it's just going to pharma. Pharma uses this information with the sole goal of improving their bottom line. The CEO of the org makes close to half a mil annually leading a small (under $10 million in annual revenue) nonprofit, which seems awfully high for a person who had no experience leading a charity when he began. I wonder about this place. They get nearly all of their money from pharma selling data and research support. It's lucrative and would seem more appropriate for a for-profit as pharma is their client, not the patient with T1D.
