Pros

They have competitive products but nothing exceptional to stand out in the marketplace

Cons

I have worked for a few major medical device/equipment/pharmaceutical companies and I can say that this company utilizes the most archaic motivational management tools in the industry which led to a high-turnover rate. People who say otherwise have never worked for a top-notch medical company and have nothing in which to compare. This environment starts at the very top and goes all the way down.

Pros

There is definitely a diversity of people and work that make meaningful impact to the end mission: patients. I like that we strive to focus on patients and why our products should meet high quality and regulatory standards.

Cons

Unfortunately, where the company falls behind is that senior management sometimes squeezes things out of workers while there is not much incentive for retention. Raises can be hard and sometimes mediocre. I wish they really saw the work that we do and it is spread to many areas of R&D, Operations, and Technical. The other things is that remote work appears to be a negative to management when it could be an asset to keep employees happy and open to flexibility.
