Pros

99% of the coworkers I enjoyed working with all very smart and fairly easy to work with. The products you build revolve are patient monitoring so you can get some pride in the work you do. Coworkers are very helpful and often are ok with sharing knowledge. I definitely recommend Drager if you are just starting your career if you have some experience look somewhere else first.

Cons

Some of the products are old, so be prepared to keep them on life-support. Middle-Management heavy, too many middle managers sometimes it felt like some of them just weren't contributing and were essentially taking advantage of the agile process. Bullpen style office sometimes makes people feel packed in. Also there's a few toxic coworkers who are smart but definitely made working at Draeger difficult at times. Change happens frequently.
