Excellent Company, promising future, rewards engagement - but you must earn it
Pros
An entirely new leadership team has been brought in over the past few years, and have saved a company on the brink of a breakup. A turn-around driven by better leadership and execution without many new products is truly impressive. Reduction of debt, a new focus on international growth, and an enhanced R&D pipeline position the company really well for the future. The products are also life saving, and I'm proud to work for a company that makes a difference. Compensation is very competitive, and high performers are rewarded. If you are just an average performer or want a 9-5 checked out job, chances are you won't be successful here.
Cons
For a company this size, some of the basic processes and systems are fairly archaic. There's been some progress on this in recent years, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. The company has lost some talented people to competitive companies, and there is some risk associated with their recent cynosure acquisition. Time will tell if it's a fit in the portfolio and if it will deliver the expected growth.
