Great company

Senior r&d engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great atmosphere, a lot of happy people. Pay and benefits are great. Haven't met even one person that's lost sight of what's really important, and for a medical device company, its always the patient. The answer to every question for a project is making something better for the patient.

Cons

Difficult to figure out what I'm supposed to do at times. People are almost too nice, in that when I ask what I should do next or what I should be working on, the response is usually "As long as you're helping out, do whatever you want!" I haven't been given enough direction to know what that means though.

Arrogant and inexperienced management

Senior r&d engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, average salary, well equipped with good tools.

Cons

Inexperienced management not willing to push the limits. Aversion to be innovative and be the first to market. Ok with being number two on the market. Also management runs roughshod over the R&D staff in dealing with with sensitive issues. Talented staff is highly underutilized.
