      Pros

      I love working in Development, even though OB is a big international company, each location handles its own projects and specialties, so I get the more casual know-everyone and have my own niche feel here. I like having a lot of personal responsibility, and also having deep expertise around me to check in with. Management is local, and they are really friendly and easy to work with. The company has been very in-tune and quick responding to the pandemic. This is a great place to work.

      Cons

      OB is just getting on board with more FDA regulations, and so the production and testing is all addin and updating it's procedures. There's a handful of things still in tribal knowledge, but that is being amended now.

      Pros

      Once you work at Ottobock, almost any other employer will be a breath of fresh air! If you are looking for a start-up enviornment in the medical device industy, this might be what you are looking for.

      Cons

      1. Uncertain job security and communication that makes employees feel they "are just lucky to have a job", when Austin is one of the most well-paid thriving job markets in the country. 2. Lack of investment in technology and employee feedback. 3. Low pay and no career path that is not made with ultimatim/ cut-throat efforts. 4. Slow-paced envionment, although it seems the contrary while working there. 5. Lack of courage- Rumors are used instead of direct communication.
