Pros

Rewarding as you will be be creating things to help people. You will work with good people who share this belief.

Cons

Lots of overhead due to many projects you work on being FDA regulated. Takes away from actual software engineering. If you want to write lots of code and do lots of architecture/design, probably look elsewhere. This is more for the casual dev.

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.
