Pros

Beautiful facility, great espresso machine and some bright motivated people. The products are very good, but trying to be the Rolex of dental implants is a bit of stretch. They're great with customers and that's what keeps them valuable.

Cons

This isn't the type of place where you start from the bottom and work your way to the top. The turnover is very high here, in all positions. The Swiss are great people, but they ultimately run the show and they don't do things very American if you know what I mean. They're def precise, but are very slow to react. The manufacturing portion of the company is run very well and those people work very hard, the selling organization is a bit of a mess. You'll see a lot of people start new here and be very motivated and have lots of great ideas and within 3 months they're all sad and broken people. If you stay in line with the Swiss, who ultimately run the show, then you'll be rewarded, but that usually means screwing over your fellow piers. Also the pay isn't the greatest, it's slightly lower than companies outside of Boston. The two way to succeed here, stay under the radar or just do whatever Switzerland tells you, not your American boss. You can guarantee that your American boss will be replaced at some point.

Pros

The new management can’t follow their own new rules. They change everything to fit their own narrative. If they don’t like what you are wearing, they will turn around and change the policy to be what they want , an example is dress code change. The new continuous improvement excellence manager thinks sh is in charge of the entire manufacturing floor. Instead of going to the manufacturing management she feels it’s necessary to go directly to employees who work on the floor and speak to them about what she doesn’t like. She knows nothing about working in a machine shop and makes up safety rules that don’t even apply. It’s overkill. Psychological safety is at risk as she and the new site manager do not welcome your thoughts or concerns it’s their way or no way. This is definitely a different company now and the culture went from goo to toxic.

Cons

Culture, pay, and OT payments not paid when holiday or using your vacation time sick time.
