Pros

Excellent people who are very nice and open and inclusive. The people will really care about you as a person. Great products and really good benefits.

Cons

High level management doesn't recognize importance of good software engineering and hires non-technical people to do work that should be done by technical people which leads to a poor implementation and ends up costing them more. The percentages for annual raises and bonuses are abysmal and don't or barely match inflation. Part of your raise also depends on business groups that you have no control over: for example sleep and respiratory care business unit had awful year with recall, but my raise % was lowered because it affected the company even though I had nothing to with it and could not control anything as I was in a completely different business unit.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
