Pros

401k matching program is attractive

Cons

HR not transparent about pathways for growth. Will leave you thinking you’re working toward a promotion but if you press them hard enough, they’ll reveal that there was never a plan to promote your role.

Pros

Great small team and direct management, decent office space, great benefits especially health insurance, decent PTO

Cons

Pay does not keep up with competitors (lucky if you get 3% annually), upper management requires employees to be in office but is never in office themselves,

Pros

- Meaningful work with real impact on patient care - Strong brand and reputation in healthcare - Exposure to complex, cross-functional programs - Solid baseline compensation and benefits - Opportunities to work on large-scale, regulated products

Cons

- Leadership quality varies significantly and directly impacts team experience - Performance reviews can be misaligned with actual contributions and lack objective grounding - Feedback is not always communicated directly, often surfacing through escalations or group settings - Limited psychological safety in some teams, making it difficult to address issues constructively - Recognition and visibility depend heavily on manager advocacy rather than measurable outcomes - While regulatory rigor is expected in medical device, internal communication and leadership practices can add unnecessary friction beyond what is required - Cross-functional alignment can break down without consistent leadership support
