BEST COMPANY EVER!!!
Apr 25, 2023 - Robotics in Peachtree Corners, GARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I've had the opportunity of working with few tech companies and non surpass Intuitive in caring for their employees. Regardless of the negative reviews towards leadership, staff members, benefits and products. The company will continue to thrive, because of the many lives they continue to impact both in the medical and staff. For a company to want their staff members a part owner of the company through shares speaks volume. You don't see that often, and most companies are doing away with such gift. Let's be thankful for such a company and work together to make it a better place.
Cons
Non , because no company in this world is perfect, and Intuitive is definitely making a difference.

- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Fun and interesting projects and tech. Good people in non-management positions. Benefits are OK.
Cons
Salary is lower than anywhere else. Raises don't happen. Engineers and other employees are kept in current positions and constantly told that they're "not at a level to advance yet" and will string you along for years. Bait and switch hiring tactics where they will downgrade a Sr position to non-sr and make excuses and promise you a promotion which never comes. They believe that their lack of pay is because they're the best around and it should be a privelage to work there. They also include bonuses as a lure, which are never guaranteed. They include ESPP as an incentive as well. Just beware that you'll do 3-5 people's jobs, including managing, quality engineer and project management for which you will never be recognized. They've hired in a ton of typical silicon valley middle management who are destroying the remnants of a good work culture.
