Pros

-POTENTIAL of really great products. -Most people in HR are very helpful and caring

Cons

-extremely high turn over: it seems most departments don't do enough to retain bright people and great talent- except if you are an Engineer. Furthermore, most people do not grow with the company, normal to have people in your group with less than one year experience in the role at Masimo. -Be prepared for micro management: this style of management trickles down, so if this is not how you like to be managed, seek employment elsewhere -very few processes that are actually followed which leads to some things that may be done in a questionable way -no formal training to use any of the devices (with the exception if you are an Engineer for that specific product), due to proprietary technology; therefore, difficult to communicate 'expertise' knowledge on any of the products. -company is very task oriented; therefore, one's own personal objectives is neglected -compensation for certain departments fare less than 20% for some positions compared to market value

Pros

Danaher came in and this new ceo will be better than the last one. Innovative devices that make a real difference in clinical environments. Talented, dedicated engineers and individual contributors who are passionate about quality and results. Competitive benefits and resources supporting the technical work.

Cons

senior leadership appear disconnected from actual operations. They often seem to know little about the day-to-day realities and contribute minimal practical value, leading to poor decisions, bottlenecks, and wasted effort for the teams doing the real work. Increasing bureaucracy and top-heavy structure that slows down progress despite the strong capabilities of the people on the ground. A noticeable gap between executive influence and actual impact, which is frustrating even as a newcomer observing it. Key talent and legacy know-how are leaving at a concerning rate, which makes newcomers like me nervous about the company’s long-term knowledge retention and stability. Gossip is rampant, further eroding trust and team cohesion.
