Pros

Life changing products. On site fitness center. Nice location south of Houston with a plenty of options to eat out. Strong engineering talent and functional leadership. People are generally hardworking, compassionate, and helpful.

Cons

Houston, we've a problem! Current environment is very stressful due to extremely aggressive project timelines and lack of top management's respect for employees. Engineers are constantly challenged on their ability to deliver. No Work-life balance - focus on work only and kiss your personal life good bye. Project management is non existent, project scope keeps growing while timelines keep shrinking and as a result individuals working 60-70 hours every week is the norm. Lots of good people left recently and the trend may continue if no corrective actions are taken.

Pros

I think leadership puts a lot of thought into strategy, including the new human imperatives. They're having the right discussions and gathering employee insights. The culture is good and getting better from where i sit (but there is a lot of variability on experiences based on location culture) and I haven't met very many 'weak links' - people are smart and they work hard. Most people really, sincerely care about helping patients.

Cons

The size of the company means career pathing will just be limited. You really have to take control of your path and forge it- you can't wait for the organization to bubble up opportunities for you in a way that may be possible at larger organizations.
