Hard work, all the time, salary not competitive enough to deal with the amount of work you have to do

Customer quality engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

My team was full of amazing, hard working people. One or two I did not like but the rest are easy to get along with.

Cons

Management style is awful, but it’s also because they are dealt an awful hand by the company. The amount of work goes up exponentially and you’re left with the same amount of people (and often less as the turnaround is high) to do more work. The way things are done changes all the time to try to deal with the absolutely ridiculous amount of work you have to do and only marginally helps. Everyone is always stressed but if you show that you’re stressed you’re not a team player. Bringing your struggles up to management means that you are given more work and more scrutiny, which…doesn’t help. And you get paid around 60k (you will not get more than 65k to start) which for me wasn’t enough incentive, because I had no life and was stressed constantly.

While our level of organizational activity can be exciting, we realize it can come with workload challenges. We are determined to improve communication and transparency between management. Thank you for shedding light on your experience and we wish you the best of luck in your career.

Pros

Met some cool people to work with.

Cons

Mgmt is untrustworthy. They tell all new hires it's a mon-thurs job with occasional Friday. It's actually mon-fri and the occasional Saturday. There is no work life balance. At this company you have to have the mindset of "you live to work not work to live" overall its a very unpleasant place to be. I will be leaving within a few weeks.

Pros

Employees willing to adjust and work hard as things change. Managed the COVID disruption to daily work extremely well. Product technology is important to delivering therapy to patients so the general mission is positive. New D&I initiatives are great to see.

Cons

Compensation has tanked. Continuing education is non-existent which is problematic if the company wants to move toward digital healthcare. Under resourced in multiple areas. Strategy changes faster than the weather.
