Pros

Nice Perks, Great CEO, Stock is flying high, really great benefits. Seeing patients who benefited by the daVinci robot is a life time experience, Intuitive still long way to go, great opportunists and growth left ahead

Cons

IT management is not so good. Employees given promotion to totally inexperienced titles. Only favorite employees gets promotion. Management is so scared with "new" technology for a robot company. Employees are still using Windows XP and 7. Good valuable employees are easily let go. Mostly everyone is not happy at work except those 'favorite' employees. I see them stuck there for money and stock options. IT management thinks they are geniuses so never gets the buy-in from the employees. So unhappy people are end up working with/managing the services and products we never liked. Management is trying to make them look good on paper on accomplishments and successes, employees are gets used to do least minimum work. There is no motivation to do any good work or takes responsibilities. They thought firing few employees motivates the others. I never remember the last time we actually celebrated or enjoyed at work. I see most employees are gone by 5:15pm every day. I used to remember the days we worked till 7pm just because we want to accomplish something.

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.
