Pros

Personal growth and development. No shortage of opportunities to "stretch" yourself. The organization is so leanly staffed, that you get an opportunity to participate in everything.

Cons

It's a machine. Extremely short-term, financial focus. The work/life balance seem to only apply to select groups, for PR purposes. In reality, too much "life" focus will leave you behind, or out. Haven't seen less than 50 hrs/week in years. "pay at the 50% of market,"

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
