Pros

Large multinational company with many opportunities to move. Company has such a dominance inthe marketplace, there is some feeling of security, although that is never truly guaranteed. Company can compete very well when it comes to salary and the ability to pay for a relocation for experienced emplyees.

Cons

Very rigid with respect to HR policies and making individual allowances. Company does not like to vary from it playbook of rules. A potential employee gets the feeling that they are worried about conflicts concerning alignment of benefits. The company is highly political. The workload is exceptionally high, and turnover is a serious problem.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
