  • People are always open to ideas. This company provides a safe place for its employees (covid testing, etc.)
  • Exceptionally talented, committed, *kind* & supportive team.

  • It's the first place that I've worked where the executive team truly values the employees. It's a pretty amazing thing not to hear that employees can be replaced with someone new. Institutional knowledge is understood.
  • We have a very diverse team with executives that are friendly and accessible.
  • Smart and dedicated colleagues. Mission to make a difference in patients' lives. Empower us with tools needed to succeed. Open and transparent culture. Transparent leadership. Handling of covid and running the company was done very well.
