Pros

Being hired as an engineer directly out of schools, Altus was able to provide an amazing environment for me to learn and grow as a medical device innovator. With the small company size, I was exposed to all aspects of the business and learned how an engineering team should operate within the larger picture. The management is encouraging and supportive. Tasks are delegated strategically to challenge employees without overwhelming them, keeping team members engaged and interested. Hard work and success are rewarded with corresponding compensation increases. Beautiful facility, cooperative teams, good communication through all departments and with the executive team

Cons

Long hours are expected of all employees

Pros

Altus Spine is a great place for engineering students to learn about the medical device industry. It boasts a truly impressive facility, sharing a working environment with its sister company, Acero Precision. Consequently, there are plenty of opportunities to crosstrain between the two companies in a wide range of skillsets. The work one does has a tangible impact and provides plenty of opportunities to learn and develop. Spinal implants and instruments are a highly regulated industry, so gaining experience with the interplay between R&D and Quality necessary to bring such a product to market is incredibly valuable.

Cons

Work can be somewhat monotonous, at times, but that's to be expected for an internship position.

Let’s start with the Advice to Management. You are right. The program is intended to provide real work experience and ultimately lead the interns back to Altus Spine and Acero Precision. For the record, a number of interns have graduated and joined both companies over the years. We also allow student interns to work through school breaks like Thanksgiving and Christmas so that they can keep their skills sharp and earn at the same time.
