Pros

Great place to grow professionally with supportive teams and good exposure to cross-functional projects. The company encourages collaboration and provides exposure to global teams and diverse projects within the healthcare and medical technology industry. Managers and colleagues are generally supportive, and there are good learning opportunities for individuals interested in business analysis, operations, and commercial functions.

Cons

Processes can sometimes be complex due to the size of the organisation

Pros

Recruitment process was slightly long but everyone was so friendly that I didn't mind. I had 3 interviews, mostly informal, just talking through my skills, experience, and motivations. They explained my role really well during interviews so I got a sense of what I could expect once I started, which is something I appreciated. The onboarding process has been as easy as I could hope for! My manager has been super welcoming and helpful, and the team at large is very approachable. There is definitely a friendly culture in the company, as far as I've seen in the 4 months I've been here. Everyone I've met seems very happy to be working at this company. Furthermore, there seems to be high employee longevity, a lot of people I've met have been at the company 10+ years - the longest tenure I know of is 35 years! Which is a very good sign. From what I've seen they take good care for their employees.

Cons

The only thing I would say is: Would've been great to have more clarity during the recruitment process in terms of how many stages were involved, and when I could expect to receive an answer, or when the next interview would take place - to be able to organize in advance. But nothing else really, it's been a great experience all around.
