Pros

If you are just out of school and want to learn the ropes, Merit is a good company. You'll learn about the medical device industry and build your skills.

Cons

However, the poor decisions of upper management continue to impact the employees. Annual raises are cost of living only. Make sure you advocate for the highest pay possible before starting, because it won't increase much after that. Merit consistently underfunds key areas of the company and are far behind their competitors because of it. Merit is not innovative. They acquire companies and merely update the design and materials for cost-savings before market release.

Pros

Dedicated employees, meaningful work, strong technical talent, and a collaborative environment focused on product.

Cons

Communication between leadership and the production floor can sometimes be indirect, resulting in assumptions, delays, and avoidable rework. More hands-on engagement from management would improve efficiency and alignment. Raises are practically nonexistence. Whatever salary you start, be sure to be happy with it for the next few years or be prepare to switch company.
