Pros

Good salary & benefits. Good job for generic ops.

Cons

Weak R&D leadership on up. Insufficient competencies to do complex hardware-based medical devices with discipline & design control. Pseudo-technical manager hoards power/resources through fear to "solve" problems & gets promoted. Meanwhile, the real design issues remain. Silo'd staff needs a true team environment. Frequent re-orgs & layoffs including lower management. Subtle but powerful politics.

Pros

Realized later that the only good thing was the pay... I am glad I negotiated well at the beginning and then when realized how bad a company it was to work for, I resigned.

Cons

Frequent restructuring; managers treating team members bad; inflexibility in giving time off due to family/leave issues; office politics taking over research...
