Pros

I love the company's mission and found my coworkers to be friendly . The managers I had while working there were both excellent/seemed to want me to excel.

Cons

I became extremely burned out and depressed while working in operations at MECC. I never received proper onboarding or training needed to do my job well. There were long hours..I felt as if I was on call 24/7 because the operators had my cell and would contact me when things went wrong, whether it was during working hours or not (many times not). If I did not respond in a timely manner, it was not a good look, even if they called at 6am. If you do not like working long hours, constantly putting out fires, patching up mistakes instead of implementing long term fixes, and being on the front lines to solve high risk issues that could both positively and negatively affect lives (as well as budget), beware. Also note that in a med device space like this, things move incredibly slowly due to regulatory approval for most changes. It is difficult to make the changes operators need and many issues are not addressed because of the pain of jumping through the regulatory hoops.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
