Pros

Diversified business. Focus on career development and succession planning more so than two other comparable med device companies. Flexible work environment. Strong acquisition record. 7% total comp 401(k) match for the last 20+ years on top of the normal 3-4% match. CEO and next level leadership team are strong. Highly decentralized, put a lot of

Cons

Promote people into new roles every 1-2 years which isn't bad, but often times into disciplines where person has no experience. Very much a promote within with lesser experienced people than bringing talent in from the outside that has been there done that. Horrible IT systems. 20 years behind the times. Highly decentralized and not very coordinated business units especially in a consolidating healthcare market.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
