Pros

They only hire fresh our of college, purely for initial experience - Then, they leave.

Cons

No growth, low pay, high cost of living, far commute. average retention = 2 years. In three years did not see a single person hired from another medical device company, but rather, everyone that leaves the company, goes to another medical device company for better pay, culture, and career opportunity and guidance.

Pros

-Relatively friendly to hiring new grads, so this is a good back-up option for your first job out of college. -The company is always expanding its capabilities and bringing on new processes, so if you'd like to 'step up' and take leadership where there is none, you can. -The poorly defined job roles allow you to wear many hats and perform multiple engineering functions, providing diverse experiences. -Friendly college campus vibe among engineers. The average engineer is in their mid-20s. (I'm genuinely surprised when I come across anyone older than 30.) You can grab a beer and talk smack about the company with most of your coworkers. -CEO seems like a nice guy.

Cons

-Management loves to micromanage and pretend they're just a small company. A mom and pop medical supply shop with international distribution and a billion dollars in assets. -Management is bad at managing and embarks upon major multi-million dollar projects without a clear plan or realistic expectations. $15 million project with no defined project manager? That's fine, I'm sure things will just work themselves out eventually... -Management at the highest level are all related somehow. Being family-owned has its pros and cons, but just remember that a penny saved is a penny earned (of inheritance) when the president rejects your purchase requests and tell you to check eBay for critical equipment (on multiple occasions). -Very low pay and un-competitive benefits package. They will match a whole 1% of your salary for your 401k, so you're essentially on your own for retirement savings. Combine that with salaries that are routinely ~$20k below local market rate for the same role/area and you have a situation where it is actively against your own best interest to stay longer than two years. Good resume building experience but a terrible place to stay for a long term career, and everyone there knows it. I have had co-workers I hardly know encourage me to apply to better companies on multiple occasions.
