Pros

You can be on a good team with cool coworkers if you’re lucky.

Cons

Organization changes quickly. This place is full of engineers-in-training. Workload can be extremely overwhelming in operations. If you’re not a favorite by your manager, good luck getting promoted. The pay is below industry, and when it comes to raise, it’s a lot less than what other companies are giving. My advice for engineers who’s looking for a job here: you’re probably young and just out of college, take the job, learn, and leave. There isn’t much room for advancement and the company culture is incredibly conservative and modernly backward. It’s not worth it to work hard and put in the extra hours. It’s by the border of Irvine! There’s at least a handful of big companies that offer much better working conditions, benefits, and pay.

View of a disgruntled former employee

Pros

I've worked at MicroVention for over a decade and was shocked by the "Very poor ethics" review posted on Glass Door. The idea that there is pressure to fabricate data of any kind is absurd. In fact, my experience at MicroVention has been exactly the opposite. Specifically, that they will test more samples than strictly necessary to ensure high quality product and will sponsor investigator-led clinical trials that MicroVention cannot control just to advance the science of neurovascular treatment. I think this review was written by a disgruntled former employee who may have been let go for performance issues.

Cons

MicroVention is a rapidly growing, innovative company. This causes growing pains in a number of areas including insufficient parking, office, and manufacturing space. They are investing $100 million in new facilities opening in 2017.

Pros

Good hours and flexibility, decent benefits. Company tries to provide well for it's employees

Cons

Company needs to take a breath and get in top of what they currently have. Continual growth and expansion is not good if what you already have isn't being properly managed. ERP system is a dinosaur with serious technical problems. Processes and procedures are barely in existence in practice, no one really seems to know what is the right way to get things done. Understaffed and way underpaid for the workload and in comparison to job market rates. Honestly, get your work experience and get out unless management seriously invests in properly qualified and trained employees. Benefits as stated is pro but you basically pay for those benefits with lower pay. This was actually what was said to me when I questioned the offer they gave me for the job. Took significant pay cut when converted from a temp employee to a staff employee. Regretting it now.
