TAPI

Pros: As a Project Coordinator, I found there was decent work-from-home flexibility a couple days a week. It really helped manage my personal life, especially working in this large corporate environment. The ability to do hybrid work was a big plus for my daily schedule.
Cons: Full remote isn't an option for most in our Chicago office, even for many tech-focused roles. Sometimes, hybrid schedules get changed with short notice, which is a bit tough. It feels like flexibility really depends on your specific manager.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize hybrid work policies across departments. It feels pretty inconsistent right now, especially for those in client-facing Project Coordinator roles. More predictability with schedules would be a huge benefit.

Pros: As a Software Engineer working remotely, the base pay is actually quite decent. It's competitive for the tech industry, especially since it's a fully remote setup. The 401k match is also a solid perk; I'm glad they offer that.
Cons: But the health benefits aren't great; plans have high deductibles. Don't expect big bonuses here, they're pretty minimal. Also, stock options aren't super generous for us non-execs.
Advice to Management: Management really needs to improve the health benefits package. Offering more comprehensive plans would make a huge difference. Also, consider enhancing the bonus structure or making stock options more attractive for all employees, especially for those in API development roles, to boost overall compensation.

Pros: I've found the work-life balance for software engineering roles here to be pretty solid. The hybrid work model in the Tel Aviv office is a big plus. It's usually a standard 40-hour week, which is great for personal time.
Cons: Sometimes, especially during critical phases of drug development projects, deadlines get crazy. As a large corporate, it can feel like you're always catching up. Weekends are generally free, but on-call rotations can sneak up on you.
Advice to Management: Improve project planning to avoid last-minute rushes, especially for new drug development initiatives. Better communication across departments would help reduce stress and improve efficiency within this large corporate structure.
