Pros

It's a great place to start right out of college. Learn as much as you possibly can in 1 or 2 years, take that experience and go on to bigger and better things. The offices are clean and well decorated.

Cons

Pay that is 20%-40% lower than industry average. No performance based compensation. No further education/training about the industry. Lousy benefits. Want a promotion or a raise? Not going to happen. It doesn't matter how hard you work. Very high turnover. Nobody wants to stay. Nobody ever wants to take the blame for anything. Ridiculous amounts of finger pointing/throwing people under the bus. You really feel like you are being watched here. Want to walk around for 5 minutes and talk with your coworkers? You better hope your boss doesn't catch you.

Pros

Lots of opportunities for growth and exposure to all varieties of the medical device lifecycle. Vertical integration is truly special for this and you will become a better engineer at this company. Overall positive culture, I have a friendly relationship with my management and I've enjoyed working with virtually all my peers.

Cons

Pay is lower than market average and you will need to put in more than what you'll get. There is also ambiguity on the metrics management assesses team member growth for promotions or pay increases. Work/life balance can get rough particularly in R&D depending on the project.
