      Pros

      Great work experience. You get a lot of responsibilities which is awesome

      Cons

      Must be able to communicate well with management team as well as other engineers. Time management is essential. Sometimes project timelines are unreasonable but as long as you communicate with management continuously it's not too bad.

      Pros

      Benefits are good, including health insurance, vacation days, family days, on-site healthcare.

      Cons

      Only food dispenser meals available on-site; some managers should not be leaders; continues to be confusion between the former company's culture and the Johnson and Johnson 's approach. Most managers are "imports" from J&J, with a minimal opportunity from inside, even when well qualified.

      Don't discriminate against longer-term Synthes employees
