Pros

Can't think of any at the moment. I guess you get prestige from working at a "name brand" company in the medical device space.

Cons

High performing employees get underpaid and overworked, they leave. Management panics, promotes remaining low performing employees to management Management has no idea what they are doing, devaluing high performing employees again, not promoting them, not giving raises etc. Rinse and repeat this cycle til the end of time.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
