Not very technical, but relatively relaxed and you're helping people

Business Outlook

Pros

it is a health care company, so at the end of the day you are improving someone else's life. Has good methods of interacting with the customers, and patients, to gain feedback on what they want/need and allow you to see the people you are helping out.

Cons

Not very technical. Lots of support of legacy products. Always worried about the FDA, thus lots of paperwork, and procedure, and documentation to cover your ass. Any chance you get to design a new product will most likely be outsourced (Renal), and you're stuck reviewing what they do and making the paperwork work.

Pros

Fair pay, excellent benefits. Oh, and my boss is a good guy...I've told the VP of HR for our division that my boss is the only reason I'm still there.

Cons

Round Lake is in the middle of freakin' nowhere. Parts of the Medication Delivery division are hopelessly sunk. Management continually wonders what the cause of the moral and productivity issues is, but as they don't own a mirror they can't seem to figure it out. Very old-guard company with regards to work atmosphere.
