Pros

Decent Salary. Can't think of any other pros. Low cost of living. Given they have driven off most talented people it is easy to shine.

Cons

Abusive incompetent management. Classic kick down kiss up types who act like middle school bullies. Management is extremely prone to fads and exists in a perpetual state of panic. Zero loyalty to employees. They perp walk people to the door after years of dedicated service (because the CEO mislead investors and missed his numbers). Culture is one of fear and intimidation made laughable by buffonish incompetence. Hope you like meetings because you will be attending at least 30 per week.

Pros

All product is manufactured in the good ole' USA (as of today) annnnd the view is spectacular (or spooktacular) at the Colorado Springs facility.

Cons

Management is top-heavy, many brown-nosers, immature regulatory managers, inefficient change management system, unrealistic expectations with ALL projects being high priorities, approvel denied for continuing job-related education, & a high turn-over rate. The company calls its employees 'teammates' in the 'Spectranetics' family'. If this family fluff were to be true, would a parent disown his/her own child if s/he received a poor grade on one of his/her report cards? No, a decent parent would not... but the "Spectranetics' family" would for surely disown (aka dismiss) the relatively new "teammate" in the "Spectranetics' family" for non-conformance to being a brown-noser.

Pros

Very talented sales force in the field. The job in the field is very interesting. That's really just about it.

Cons

Management on every level. Sycophant culture of sucking up. No contact with reality (i.e. what's happening in the field). The corporate culture they purport value so much is nothing but hot air. Attract, hire, retain the best talent? Only if your talent is in saying yes, brown-nosing and sucking up. Management has no vision, they constantly are readjusting quarter to quarter, and they will absolutely sell you out to make themselves look good mostly because they have no idea of what they are doing. Avoid working here unless you have no other choice.
