Pros
I recommend Altus Spine to anyone who takes pride in their work, doubly so for those with an entrepreneurial spirit. There aren't many places where you can find a small business setting within a world-class facility. The company has a very strong foundation. The owner is goal and business-oriented which translates into a working environment that is very open to improvement opportunities. Yes, it is often fast-paced and requires flexibility, but the individual is still provided the freedom to explore alternative paths to success and help shape and improve processes. I have worked for Fortune 500 & 1000 companies for the majority of my career; although I've been blessed to work with great organizations, I have often felt like a cog in the wheel. Not at Altus Spine. Every single team member is a linchpin to daily operations and you're never more than one good idea away from helping to shape decisions and processes. Altus Spine's leadership believes in mutual growth. If you can demonstrate that your competency and achievements contribute to the company's improvement, then you'll be rewarded. The company is actively pursuing entrance into the global market. If that sounds exciting to you then there is no better time to join the team.
Cons
No significant cons that aren't shared by the industry. Altus Spine engineers and sells Medical Devices which means that the facility and work areas (including desks) must remain clean and highly organized. This is a big "pro" for anyone familiar with the industry (the facility is always audit and tour-ready), but those new to pharma or medical devices may suffer initially from culture shock. Cleanliness and organization are necessary to realize Altus Spine's commitment to quality.
