Pros

One of those companies really have a mission of making the world better. Of course, they have to make money. Hey, but is there a better way to make money with fighting against cancer? The culture is very open and the management support visibility.

Cons

Very complicate matrix structure. Not a really cool place. A bit old fashion.

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.
