Pros

The bar is set high and you are asked to wear many hats, so you will learn a lot about the medical device industry. You will be challenged and learn new things every day, so you will never be bored. Good place to start your career. Benefits are average to good.

Cons

Seems like they have a RIF (Reduction In Force) once or twice every year and they continue to ask their employees to do more and more with less. Morale is low. Based on my research and experience the salary is on the very low side compared to the rest of the market.
