Pros

You get a lot of experience if you are new to the work force, esp. out of college. You also get a lot of responsibility rather quickly if you are competent. It is fairly easy to move within departments, many employees have worked in several departments.

Cons

The pay is way below industry standards and it is hard to get a raise. The health benefits and 401K is sub-standard as well. You are often thrown into situations without adequate training and expected to perform. There are a lot of cliques between employees, particularly because the workforce is so young. There is high turnover in many areas. Many times the scope of a project is not outlined and there is a lot of time wasted in finishing a project. Management could be more efficient.

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.
