Pros

-Great work life balance -Half days on Friday in the summer -Great benefits -Friendly and helpful people -Working on products that save and sustain lives

Cons

Technical design work is rare and more on the sustaining side so technical and more ambitious individuals may want to stay away from now. The company is moving toward having more opportunities for engineering and NPD work, but who knows how long that will take. Also, due to a history with getting in trouble with the FDA, processes are very slow and contain many non value added steps.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
