Pros

Working in Surgical Robotics at S+N in Pittsburgh is truly a remarkable experience. The culture here is vibrant and inclusive, fostering a sense of community and collaboration among all team members. Leadership genuinely cares about the well-being and professional growth of each individual, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. We're constantly tackling some of the toughest challenges in the industry, pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology. This not only makes our work incredibly rewarding but also ensures that we're making a significant impact on the future of healthcare. It's a place where passion meets purpose, and every day brings new opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Only notable challenge is the demanding workload. Many team members feel the strain at times, which can lead to burnout. Additionally, the recurring budget challenges year after year add to the stress, making it difficult to plan and execute projects smoothly. Addressing these issues is crucial to maintaining the well-being and productivity of the team.

Pros

The Memphis location is great. Even though many people work remotely, S+N have integrity, and they are genuine and caring. Work can be hard in Med Tech because of the Regulatory and Quality requirements, but it's more enjoyable with people who value more than just work. And we don't forget that everything we do can be a blessing to surgeons' and patients' lives. The products are expensive to make, so the profit margins aren't as good as other companies even in Orthopaedics. But the products are superior to other companies' products. Oxinium addresses wear, weight, and metal sensitivity. Visionaire helps surgeons under cost pressure to continue to deliver high-quality implantations. Cross-linked plastic inserts striker the right balance of strength and oxidation resistance. Implant sizes / options do a great job of addressing patient bone shapes. The cementless implant options are superior in quality and design for better initial fixation and better bone / implant integration. And our Revision products for Hips and Knees offer more than just band-aid solutions--they restore patient mobility.

Cons

Some of the support functions don't feel very supportive. IT, Security, and Procurement groups are often in a different time zone. They don't have an intimate knowledge of the business resulting in generic support, which can be frustrating or counterproductive.
