Pros

Amazing benefits package. Very nice and knowledgeable territory sales teams.

Cons

This has been the absolute worst hiring process I have ever been through. I interviewed with two separate divisions of this company (sports medicine and wound care). Both divisions were fighting back and forth over who started the process first and neither one of them ended up offering me the job after dragging me along for two months. One division leader lied to the other and asked them to stop they’re hiring process with me, and the other division (after two interviews and a ride along decided to tell me I didn’t have the qualifications for the job. Note: the first division of the same corporation said I didn’t need a Bachelors Degree. The first division also never called to tell me that they hired someone else, after I tried getting in contact with them for almost a week. This has not only wasted two months of my time between interviews but also my time at my current job and away from my family by continuing with an interview process that should have never began if I didn’t have the qualifications.

Pros

The company provides quality products to specific patient populations with positive clinical outcomes

Cons

No clear direction from senior leadership - goal & objectives are constantly changing resulting in annual re-structuring. Disrupting to both internal and external customers.
