Pros

Top medical equipment company. Uses the latest technology and creates customer driven products.

Cons

I was fooled by all of the positive reviews, but maybe that just depends on the location. Diabetes Care in Northridge demands a lot from it employees. Be ready to work more than 8 hours a day everyday and expect last minute requests from management on a regular basis. The staff tries their best, but management seems to care more about daily stats on a project. Not recommended if you want a job that focuses on research and development instead of having to answer to management regularly. I would rate the company 1 star based on the management, but I gave it 2 stars because the employees are team players.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
