Pros

During my years at Intuitive, I have found multitude of pros that make it an exceptional workplace. For a start - I feel grateful to be a part of the purpose to improve patient care by innovating ways to minimize surgical invasion and helping with fast recovery. Keeping team sizes small and agile helps make decisions faster. The teams thrive on collaboration and there are abundant opportunities for career growth, bolstered by access to appropriate training sessions and clear pathway for advancement. Overall, a strong company culture rooted in collaboration, innovation and creating a fulfilling work environment.

Cons

If I had to nitpick, cafe offerings are average and the need to drive to the main cafe for some variety can be a bit inconvenient.
