Pros

If you like to talk, you will go far here. That's all that matters. Having actual skills or education will hurt you. Management is full of people who can talk, and that's all they can do. So, they are threaten by anyone with actual talent and character. They consider the perfect person to be someone who has never heard of source control. The perfect educational background is to have an associates degree in exercise from Totally Not a Scam Community College.

Cons

If you actually want to make a product and help patients, you will be depressed everyday. Nothing ever gets done. People are rewarded for promoting themselves and others in their clique. Nothing else matters.

Pros

Good salary and benefits, nice life-work balance. Well funded company, should be able to weather the current climate in medical devices.

Cons

Cumbersome and burdensome processes result in slow results and achievements which give the competition a leg up. Organization is split into to may silos that act as independent entities and do not cooperate with one another. Sales and Service work for the short term to meet their goals and receive their bonuses and rewards at the expense of long term growth and prosperity for the company. Employees on the development / manufacturing side are unable to maintain a growth oriented road map and instead must react to every knew commitment by sales.

Pros

Very good at firing before the holidays.

Cons

Worked for the company for multiple years. During those years we were working on next gen patient monitors, project kept struggling due to poor management. Always had some plans to fix it, never mentioned any possible risk of the project being axed. Now, literally a week before thanksgiving they start grabbing people and taking them to conference rooms to get fired. You hear about this on the news, but you never expect it from your own company.
