Pros

-Great place to get medical device experience -Large company, but you still get to work with multiple departments -Very friendly and inviting culture

Cons

-Trying to implement many systems because they are now owned by Novartis, some of the new systems are irritating to work with. -Opportunities for growth do not come very often, there is a lot of horizontal movement but it takes a while to see some vertical movement with your career.
