1... The CEO is the biggest hypocrite ever to (dis)grace this planet. He claims to stand for patient safety while he's up to his eyebrows in lawsuits that involve allegations of patient negligence, product liability, gross patient safety violations and concerns, including scores of patient deaths and permanent injuries, compliance problems with the FDA, and other circusy stuff that has finally started leaking into the press.
2... Every position at masimo that I'm aware of is a revolving door. Average length of stay can be measured in months not years.
3... I witnessed, and am embarrassed to admit involvement in, the most unethical business practices imaginable, under crippling pressure to hit my number or be fired and blacklisted in the industry. Employees are subtly reminded of how connected and powerful the CEO is, as he served for many years until recently as chairman of the Medical Device Manufacturers Association.
4...Compensation plans are adjusted to prevent good money. By design, there is always one or two reps per division that hit the big money, so they can become the "example story" to new hire candidates and other naïve hopeful people, when in reality they are exceptional standouts in a cesspool of miserable, hard working, underpaid grunts.
5...Virtually everything that a rational, moral, law-abiding citizen could ever want in a job is absent at Masimo.
6... I will live out the rest my days ashamed of things I did under pressure, while employed at masimo. The very mention of the company name serves as a reminder that I am human and vulnerable to unethical behavior under the "right" set of circumstances and a healthy dose of fear.
