Pros

Great company to get started and learn about the medical device industry. In the long run though hard to stay and grow professionally. It has very good benefits (except the vacation days, very limited) especially the 401K company match and contributions. It allows a lot of autonomy so you don't have a boss breathing down your neck, there is flexibility.

Cons

There are very long hours adn competition is high and constant! Very fast-paced environment. Need to be a flexible individual to work here since things change ALL the time. Preference is to bring people from the outside for promotions. You never do enough.

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.
