Pros

-Good stock benefits -Company's vision is very inspiring

Cons

-Favoritism- This is very noticeable in the production floor. It's unfortunately very discouraging when we can clearly see the veteran techs and management level individuals only catering to a select few. A lot of us newer technicians want the opportunity to grow with the company, but so far, we just feel "stuck" with the company. -Levels- There are lower level techs outperforming some of the higher level techs, yet we still have to wait a set amount of years until we get a promotion to the next level. This is probably the main reason why retention rate is low in the assembly floor. The transition from Tech I to Tech II doesn't include a boost in hourly pay, the only thing added is the swing shift differential. -Character- ISI emphasizes positive characteristics which I value a lot, yet a good amount of new/experienced technicians on the floor have not portrayed much of it from my honest analysis. It makes us wonder, does ISI really look for well-driven candidates with great characteristics? Or are they just hiring anyone to fill in the vacant positions from former techs that left for the same reasons listed above?

Pros

The da Vinci is a powerful robotics platform and still unmatched by just about everything else in the market. With the product that great comes the experience and access to work with healthcare professionals and hospital systems at a level that is extremely valuable for a long career Medical Device. Also, the value you provide in the technical experience, the training pathway and the Surgeon learning curve to autonomy and the feeling of growing production is great when all the pieces fall into place.

Cons

If you're in an area that has good runway and they just need hands on deck with a supportive manager it's pretty straightforward career progression. However, there's a lot of territories that have been sold into a corner of sorts and because of the specific targets that absolutely need to be sold the management has gotten extremely picky and will specifically target reps from orgs such as JnJ, Applied and Medtronic to come in and flip the remaining surgeons that they've already been selling to.
