Pros

Health Insurance is pretty good.

Cons

The compensation and bonuses for engineers are not competitive for a global leader in medical devices and especially for a fortune 500 company. The director level leadership changes every year. The plants are a pain to work with. Half the time they don't have the requirements ready when a project kicks off. The other half of the time most of the plant personal quits. The turn over rate is awful. No opportunity for promotions. They dangle a carrot with training and the need for more experiences but those opportunities never come. If you are looking for career growth it won't happen here.

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.
