Pros

Organizations mission to save lives with minimally invasive medical devises. The work is meaninful and a lot of very smart people to work with/learn from.

Cons

Cut throat culture, people will do anything to get ahead. Flat organization structure provides little opportunity for growth and career development, there is a strong push for lateral moves but the organization does nothign to incentivize these moves. Many rules around titles, levels and how long you need to be in a role to be promoted rather than just hiring and promoting the right people and paying them fairly. Zero focus on work/life balance, to get ahead you need to be willing to put your home life to the side, expected to be "on" 24/7 regardless of level.

Pros

- The division has some good cultural values/goals, like a fun, innovative work place - Halloween is fun

Cons

- In practice, the division fails to deliver on the stated cultural values - A lot of negativity, particularly from the project management office - Former engineers who were promoted to managers comprise a significant portion of the leadership team. As a result, there isn't much management competency or true leadership. - Star performers aren't valued and inevitably leave due to lack of opportunity and poor management
