Pros

better to work than fast food chain, even you don't have medical experience , you can still able to work there. good to have experience.

Cons

working with a lot of issues and dramas, supervisors are favoritism, if you apply for any position, you better have a supervisor to back you up!!!!

Pros

Lots to like about working in the engineering department at Penumbra: - Highly collaborative - Fast paced - Lots of smart, engaged people - Products make a difference

Cons

Demanding work environment, where recognition and advancement disproportionately go to those who know someone in upper management.

Pros

They treat you like a child so you get to spend 4 weeks doing nothing while they "train" you They serve Walmart hotdogs and hamburgers or buy Little Caesars every other month and make sure to remind you of it at meetings

Cons

Horrible pay for the production numbers and fine detail work they demand of you Cleanroom environment means you have to cut your breaks short to gown up, not nearly enough locker room space for everyone leading to packed sardine can changing environments Childish, petty work environment, CYA taught as a core company concept leading to backstabbing blame gaming Management hired from outside have no clue of how internal processes work Minor mistakes are punished by interrogations and signed meetings under the guise of "investigations" Lack of consistency in day to day operations, workstation and work duties can change from day to day or even hour to hour, was frequently left unattended without work while leads attempted to coordinate Complete psychopaths are placed in trainer positions, frequently overheard threats of suicide and violence from certain trainers Tout DEI over everything to cover up the poor culture, abysmal compensation and borderline hostile work environment, will happily pay gay people the same awful rates as straight people
