Pros

Im thinking real hard but I got nothing.

Cons

Some genius recently decided to give everyone 10K pay cut by taking away the car allowance. I predict Masimo will have many more job postings in the next few months.

Thank you for taking the time to post your message and sharing your concern. We are sorry that you feel that your experience at Masimo has not been positive. Regarding your comment, currently Masimo offers certain field employees a car allowance of $700/month ($8,400/year), which was recently raised from $500 per month ($6,000/per year). The car allowance is not “pay” but is an “allowance” that is given to our field employees to ensure that they have a reliable, presentable, and insured car to perform their job duties. Masimo will not be discontinuing the car allowance without replacing it with an equivalent or better program to ensure that our field employees have a reliable, presentable, and insured car. Masimo is currently looking at the possibility of offering a company or “fleet” car program to our field personnel that we believe, based on our preliminary analysis, will benefit our employees more than the car allowance and also provides benefits to the company. If Masimo chooses the company car model, the car allowance would be discontinued. But if Masimo determines that the company car model does not make sense for its employees or Masimo, the car allowance will continue.

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.
