Pros

Outstanding products that really do make a difference in patient's lives! Great coworkers truly passionate about the above.

Cons

"Do more with less" is the mantra: Teams in all functions routinely understaffed and often unable to even back fill vacated roles let alone open new roles to get the team to the water line. "Best Place to Work" surveys sent by sr leadership make it seem like they care, but then any negative results are rarely acted upon and managers are pressured to have their teams reply more positive despite nothing changing. Perpetual drain of experienced team remembers, with robust subject matter expertise and history not valued. Can just outsource or bring in young talent (somehow without robust training programs) to keep the churn... "Forcing" people back to office despite it being proven unnecessary and many team members already being located around the globe. But fear to say anything because "if your job doesn't need you in the office I can outsource it anywhere for cheaper", while having the audacity to "celebrate" the flexibility they claim to have.

Pros

Easy work and only 8 hour shifts

Cons

They are understand but expecting you to work with three people. Also, they are starting to take away benefits, but not giving anything back. Also, they just changed our hours very odd hours that took an hours pay from everybody. They don’t offer even a bonus anymore for the lower employees only the upstairs people get the bonuses.
