Pros

They pay you actual money to show up and pretend to work - unless of course, someone screws that up. Other than a pay check, it is hard to think of anything positive about working for Integra. I guess if you are in HR, you don't have to ever show up to work and don't really need to do much of anything, which I suppose is a positive, if you are an HR employee.

Cons

Integra is just a horrible, demoralizing, life-sucking, draining, miserable place to work. The level of incompetence at all levels of the organization is absolutely astounding. Integra Senior Management says things about wanting to become an "Employer of Choice" and does things like a company-wide employee survey, but it is all just smoke and mirrors. There is and will never be any real change, at least not anytime in the near future, the culture of incompetence is just too pervasive within the organization. Integra is a place where people come to work, make a little money, learn a little and wait for something better to come along, and then they leave. If you are looking to come here and have other options, take whatever the other option is - nothing I mean NOTHING can be as bad as Integra. If you have no other options, then take their money, build your resume and then leave for a real company. Its a little superficial, but in this day and age, when people have other, more attractive options, it matters - Integra's facilities are just absolutely terrible. When you walk around the offices in Plainsboro, especially 311 Enterprise Drive, it is almost as if someone drove around collecting discarded office furniture (chairs and desks) from people's dumpsters and then dropped it all off at Integra to be used around the office. If you are lucky enough to work in Burlington, MA, it is like a time-warp back to 1979.

Pros

(1) The company has a good young environment. Many employees in 20's and 30's. Opportunities for after work athletic activities (i.e. baseball, football, soccer), organized Friday lunches out, happy hour with co-workers. All of which are fun, but you have to show interest and keep up with group activities to be included. (2) Casual social environment with team members.

Cons

(1) Many times you will find employees who are less than willing to help when you need it. In addition, there are many tasks that are pushed on the wrong departments/teams, because no one wants to manage them. It is common that you may find yourself working on tasks and projects that are not relevant to your hired position or job description. This is also partially due to lack of hiring for project management positions. (2) Very cliquey. If you are not part of the young crowd, you will have to make sure you make friends and show interest in activities to be invited/included. Anyone is welcome, but you have to find your way in, first. (3) Not only are people not very helpful, they can also be demanding of your time, when it is not your responsibility in the first place.

Pros

Building infrastructure to support growth Plenty of work to do Constant change = opportunity

Cons

It's all about the money -- losing touch with meaningful physician relationships and appreciation of the clinical value they're trying to provide to patients Huge gap between senior management and the rank-and-file Sub-par compensation and benefits
