Pros

The only Medical company in Yorba Linda. Nice area right next to Costco

Cons

Horrible rush hour traffic both in the AM & PM. No new products; only derivatives. Many new products are on hold. Very few are moving forward. They cheat employees on PTO & they offer NO sick leave. They pay 4 weeks PTO but 0 sick leave. Other med co's pay 3 weeks PTO plus 2 weeks sick leave. Only 8 paid vacations a year, unlike a standard 11 paid holidays at other medical co's. No chance for advancement. You are lucky to get 1% raise a year. Many got NONE. Bonus is only 3% maximum. No H.R onsite at all. If someone gets booted out, there won't be an exit interview. If people have conflicts, HR rep will come from San Diego once a month.

Pros

In R&D, the environment is fairly laid back. Dress is casual and no one is micro-managing your hours. The instruments we work on are cutting edge and so are the technologies (for the most part). There is still maintenance on some legacy instruments that requires old development systems to be fired up here and there, but for the most part things are moving forward. C#, C++, VS 2013, TFS 2013, etc. Great place to sharpen your design and programming skills!

Cons

The software engineering group has become top heavy, and there is not a lot of room for advancement. Can be here 15 years before getting promoted to next level. Also, management will not hesitate to hire from the outside right into higher level positions, when there are people internally who could fill the roles.
