Pros

Insulet is growing rapidly with a great culture and ambitious, passionate people focused on having positive impact for people living with diabetes. The leadership are very visible and have great drive that filters down through the organisation. It is a great place to learn (on the job) and develop. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities for those that like variety! Ideal place for people who want to make a difference and happy to go the extra mile.

Cons

For a relatively small company there is opportunity to be more lean and agile. Often red tape and fear of the unknown can slow us down. At times the company seems hierarchical taking away individual accountability and decision making with limited communication back down through the organisation. Good recognition of achievements, although reward may lag behind. Band width is a new term in my vocabulary since joining and I don't have much of it!

Pros

-The compensation packages are decent -- but they're designed to attract people all the way out to Acton and to retain talent within the company culture. -The new headquarters is nice. New building, good facilities.

Cons

-Silo-Focused. Everyone works in silos and most of the senior executive team seem to agree with keeping the culture as-is. It creates interdepartmental headaches, extra work, and animosity. Large, successful companies are not built in silos. -Short-Term Focused. The decision making is geared towards short-term (read: quarter-to-quarter) wins and appearing to increase market capitalization. Long-term sustainability (in all things -- corporate systems, business processes, human capital, succession planning, you name it...) isn't the true focus, no matter how much it is touted as a "priority". -Very top-heavy. There are more VPs, Sr. Directors, and Directors than you can possibly imagine. Most of the roles have been provided purely to attract and retain talent...some of the individuals do not have direct reports but are given titles of high-level executive leadership....or they manage a few individual contributors. -Extremely, extremely political environment. If you are in the cliche (read: nepotism), you are protected no matter what. In 5 years, I've seen this at all levels of job classification -- Entry all the way to Executive. -Do not believe the "positive" reviews on Glassdoor. The management team has given direction to leaders, on numerous occasions in the last couple years, to write positive reviews on Glassdoor to pump up the ratings. It's a shame.

Great to hear you appreciate our competitive pay and benefits package, and that you enjoy our new headquarters in Acton, MA. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Your comments on the need for an improvement in workplace culture are appreciated. We agree, as Insulet has grown from a small start-up business to a global organization with more than 2,000 employees, the need for focus on our Company culture has grown as well. We have a number of initiatives planned that we hope will make Insulet an even better, more supportive place where employees can grow professionally. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
