Pros

The engineers and technicians are great to work with. Bright, resourceful, fun, and supportive.

Cons

The executives are delusional! The CEO pulled us all in for a town hall and basically told the team "if you don't like it, Masimo isn't for you!" Refuses to evolve with changing work environment and actively sabotages any potential to attract and retain talented engineers. Seems like none of the senior "leadership" is worried about anything since they're already making millions and can walk away from this burning dumpster whenever they want. Completely agree with a lot of the negative reviews here since they're probably the same team members who've been staying late, working on the weekends, holiday, or having long periods of crunches to make some ridiculous deadline.

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.
