Amazing Leadership and Products but Workplace Amenities Need Attention

Pros

- Fantastic CEO and executive leadership. - Tons of opportunity for growth - Very smart people who are committed to the goal of improving patient outcomes.

Cons

Culture is to be in the office at least 8am-5pm. Some groups have flexibility to work from home or remote at times but it feels like your abandoning your trying to get away with something. No gym and very limited food options and wellness opportunities. Highlights the growth challenges and where the company wants to invest. Hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle when commuting by train and no gym close by when you didn't drive in.

Pros

Successful product with decent room for improvement

Cons

Intuitive Surgical has a large company culture filled with inexperienced managers who seek to literally plagarise their juniors work as their own. My boss took 3 vacations in one summer and had me finish everything on my own yet claimed he did the work. The pay is pretty terrible (sub 100k bay area for software engineer???) And the network is also pretty pathetic. Alot of the guys here use intuitive as a step up from their low paying jobs at boeing or nasa but it certainly is a crush all environment and you will not expect any hands to help you move around the company. They will do their best to suppress you and your income
