Pros

Product management were solid. Products are some of the best found in the cv or's. The equipment has always been regarded as the best.

Cons

Pathetic sales management. They have ruined a once great company and now manage by intimidation. Upper management have lost customer trust and trust of field sales. Arrogance now rules.

Pros

Great management. If these guys had the tools the other companies had they would really do well. However, with limited resources it was hard to compete.

Cons

Tough to compete with the larger companies. Great technology initially but could not maintain the competitive advantage. Other companies responded very quickly to the market.

Good Company and Getting Better

Pros

I think leadership puts a lot of thought into strategy, including the new human imperatives. They're having the right discussions and gathering employee insights. The culture is good and getting better from where i sit (but there is a lot of variability on experiences based on location culture) and I haven't met very many 'weak links' - people are smart and they work hard. Most people really, sincerely care about helping patients.

Cons

The size of the company means career pathing will just be limited. You really have to take control of your path and forge it- you can't wait for the organization to bubble up opportunities for you in a way that may be possible at larger organizations.
