Pros
Great benefits and 401k. Employees are great to work with.
Cons
Worked there 14 years, 6 months. Laid off on account of my age. Had I managed another 6 months I would have received my full retirement benefits. Now I only get half!Serious lack of vision. Not tuned into reality. Keep changing the mix thinking that there is a magic bullet (stent) that would fix everything. CEO only cares about himself. When Guidant was acquired by Abbott we were told that "not to think of our division as a medical device manufacturer but rather as a financial institution" meaning screw the employees and let's focus on my bonuses and golden parachutes for executive management.
