Pros
-Projects are genuinely interesting and multifarious. You'll dip your toes into a wide variety of neat medical device development projects. -Work life balance is very much valued. Work pretty much ends promptly by 5. Very rarely ever had to stay in the office after business hours; and was never expected to check email or hop on calls after I got in my car. -In-person work is the norm, but Gilero is flexible in allowing work from home in special circumstances (i.e. need to supervise home maintenance).
Cons
-As a contract manufacturer, salaried employees are necessarily required to maintain a timecard. Every 40-hour business week must be accounted for in 15-minute resolution; and timecards are regularly audited by management. -There really is no "training" to speak of and employees are expected to hit the ground running to meet billable hour goals. In this regard, Gilero would not be somewhere I'd recommend for a fresh grad. -Gilero offers no sick days as part of their benefits package. Unless you can work from home while ill, "sick time" is deducted from vacation. -Manufacturing takes place outside of the Triangle proper. If you're hired for manufacturing support, odds are good your commute to the office will be 40+ minutes in one direction.
