Intuitive reviews about "training"

Culture shifts as company continued to grow.

work life balance can be tough to manage sometimes

The experience can vary significantly depending on the manager and territory team. When leadership and teammates are highly involved in training and development, the ramp can be manageable. When that support is limited, the role becomes much more difficult to navigate. (Ensure you have a competent manager and a supportive team. If not, you’ll be isolated and struggling, eventually facing criticism for your lack of performance. ) Performance expectations can escalate before many new hires feel fully confident in the role. The product already has very high market penetration in many hospitals, which makes it harder for newer team members to practice and develop their skills. A lot of time can be spent in the OR mainly observing or covering cases rather than actively getting hands-on experience.

Very cliquey. Very clear social hierarchy. If you’re not on the team when previous or current gen product development, you’re a second class citizen to do what the OGs don’t want to do or mess that they created. Company tries to be run at a fast pace like a typical Silicon Valley company but has none of the agility required. Lots of internal system slowing stuff down. Suppliers and vendors could care less to help you because volume is so low. But in meetings engineers are expected to have response in a day. intuitive just isn’t Apple. But there are plenty of ex Apple employees that will proudly proclaim that back at Apple things could’ve been done in 30 min or yesterday. I wonder why they left Apple and came here if they were so great at Apple? Maybe they’re here to save us? lol Very non inclusive like I mentioned and very obvious preferential treatment. Some people can go to meetings with no major updates for weeks while some have to have an update every hour. If you’re sick because of your kid is sick. And you take 2-3 sick days, your boss will ask “you seem to be sick a lot, why is that?” And he will never bother to ask if you’re doing better. Just did you do this yet? What’s taking so long? (When he asked 30min ago) Overall very toxic environment with a lot of nice language and advertisement to cover it up.

No management training to manager No emapthy Toxic work culture in “Sustaining Engineering” No processes / Tools No feedback mechanisms to Skip level manager for behavior of manager No team building activities or intentions No promotion mechanism or criteria. It’s very subjective and totally dependent upon manager Very poor 401k match Below average benefits

On boarding experience with the HR team was a mess. HR had absolutely no idea what is going on. For example, I was rejected 1 day, but then sent an email the next day to prepare for a director presentation, and emailing them for response goes no where. No feedback was ever given in the interview process, although promised. Management had poor communication. The level of disorganization is just a big red flag. Training was not what was explained, a lot of "on the fly" learning. They keep hiring for experience and are letting real talent quit/leave by their own doing.

If you're in an area that has good runway and they just need hands on deck with a supportive manager it's pretty straightforward career progression. However, there's a lot of territories that have been sold into a corner of sorts and because of the specific targets that absolutely need to be sold the management has gotten extremely picky and will specifically target reps from orgs such as JnJ, Applied and Medtronic to come in and flip the remaining surgeons that they've already been selling to.

However, my experience was also marked by significant challenges, particularly related to company culture and leadership. While Intuitive outwardly promotes values of diversity and inclusion, I found a lack of genuine support and accountability behind the scenes. In some instances, management failed to address discriminatory behavior, and leadership often lacked transparency and follow-through. The culture, at times, felt disingenuous and unsupportive, making it difficult to trust those in leadership roles or feel truly valued within the organization

* Intense and unreasonable (changing) targets which are not adequately supported (managerially, financially, and logistically) * Questionable ethics (with regards to employee evaluations, expectations and relations): works very well for individuals with a certain personality -- highly optimistic, "yes sir", done matters more than whether it was done well, those who are highly confident (ie those who do not take personal accountability) * Significant barriers for career advancement & leveling
