Pros

Can't think of any at the moment. I guess you get prestige from working at a "name brand" company in the medical device space.

Cons

High performing employees get underpaid and overworked, they leave. Management panics, promotes remaining low performing employees to management Management has no idea what they are doing, devaluing high performing employees again, not promoting them, not giving raises etc. Rinse and repeat this cycle til the end of time.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
