Once it was a company that valued patient treatment above all else. Now it’s all about the shareholders. - Field Service Engineer Varian Medical Systems Employee Review

Pros

Good amount of downtime. Company car. Decent benefits. Fairly autonomous (depending on manager). Great troubleshooting experience.

Cons

Management can be overbearing. After being bought by Siemens, the company no longer values patient treatment over profit. Work life balance is seriously lacking. You may have downtime but you can’t plan anything during the week due to being on-call. Overtime is now heavily monitored, where it used to be a big selling point. Seeing as the hourly pay is relatively low compared to the job responsibilities.

There are multiple complex projects in development with large, international, and very talented teams. Company benefits are excellent. Culture is great.
