Pros

Great product that changes people's lives

Cons

I have been working at Cochlear for 5 years & we had 3 VPs of marketing over the last 5 years. The marketing department is a total mess. Meetings are full of tension, sarcasm and there's no focus and absolutely no work-life balance. The department's goal is to grow, grow and grow the share and the market and who cares how employees feel. I have been there for 5 years because it's hard to find a job elsewhere. Today, we kicked off our ASM (Annual Sales Meeting) in Texas & it's sad to see all the hypocritical executive intros talking about our sales playbooks that the field team doesn't believe in & never uses. It's just a waste of our time. It's a company with no focus & no respect for employees.Show Less

Pros

Good benefits, company matching for 401k

Cons

Toxic work environment where we are required to work overtime to meet project deadlines but are not compensated fairly. Bonuses are not always paid out even for stellar performance.
