Pros

The culture is amazing, everything is about the patients, lots of development opportunities as long as you are not in Manufacturing; transparency is good.

Cons

Once in Manufacturing, it's hard to get to other good jobs. Too many re-orgs in the last 10 years

Pros

Great benefits, pay and amazing health insurance

Cons

Nepotism. They do not have a sales incentive in the role anymore so it’s hard to understand how they promote people to new roles
