Pros

Recruiting process was solid, first call to offer letter was less than a month and on my first day my lap top was ready. Employees are great, very collaborative.. Location is good and close to gym, easy to get a workout in before or after work.

Cons

Very political organization. If you get off to a bad start with one of the VP's you're in trouble, esp the very top. You can’t tell the truth about status of project timelines, machine performance, etc. doing so will result in being bucketed a troublemaker. Once branded this you have little chance of recovery-- you will get no help completing assignments, given the lowest of the low projects and cut out of communication chain that's needed to be effective.

Pros

Start up with nothing established properly so huge opportunities to learn.

Cons

Working for Outset Medical was hell on earth. You are constantly worried on when you will lose your job. The company is sinking and their stock price went from $60 to 40 cents. They stopped sponsoring peoples PERM throughout the company so if you are on a visa, stay away. If you dont have visa issues I would still stay away unless you want to be overwhelmed with constant worry. The company is very dysfunctional.
