Pros

Good work life balance It's a known commodity You can advance or change business units across Harris (if you drink the cool-aide and end up in the right 9-box)

Cons

People are just expendable resources and moves are made based on metrics and cost analysis - very robotic Stagnating product, tech stack - not much progress nor innovation You probably won't be challenged to develop or grow. That's good if you're lazy, but bad if you ever find yourself looking for a new job. Advanced degrees are not subsidized It's all about squeezing money out of existing business for as long as they can while minimizing costs. You can essentially forget about anything except modest (1-3%) pay increases, even for exceptional performers. They fall further behind and have essentially missed the AI boat. Little vision or creative leadership... has been a revolving door for 5 years (5 different CEO/EVPs in 4 years)

Pros

The people are what make Ingenious Med great. Many capable and talented individuals walk through those doors every day. Individual contributors and some middle management make it a great environment to work in, and it was fun at times. For those who were younger in their career, entry and secondary-level positions provided decent compensation.

Cons

Management will be the death of the company. Many VP and Executives don't merit their titles, with some in C-level completely oblivious of anything other than their own opinion. The company had some much potential, and great market position, but over the last two years priorities shifted away from a core product, and no one with power cared to recognize what customer-facings teams articulated. Career development really isn't there; Management takes a "stay in your lane" strategy. Employee evaluation process is lax, which has allowed many people to stay in positions well past their time and capabilities were exceeded. Capable people haven't been allowed to advance or move into other departments "because they're too good at what they do." Overall, most of management needs to be removed or shifted to other roles. More open conversation for individuals should be had from a career development perspective. And, most importantly, leadership needs to realize how and why they've gotten to the position they have, and pull their heads out of the sand to fix it.
