Pros

Large, well respected by customers and the industry High caliber people, doing exceptional work Bleeding edge in many respects Lots of excellent experiences in the Med Tech industry

Cons

Culture is full of arrogance If you aren't championing yourself, you won't be promoted Lots of people there just to check a box on their resume without regard to the actual business or living the Mission Some leaders are extremely cutthroat and willing to throw employees under the bus Rotating leadership; too much movement, not enough stability

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.
