Pros

There are great friends that I work with as I travel my multi-state area installing imaging systems, It is always great to see old friends and install equipment that has a HUGE Positive impact for the patient and physician care.

Cons

More, more, more, and more. There is no end to the demands of my schedule. There is no Work / Life balance. Consider this point if you are married or have children - are you willing to give that up for this job??? I suggest that you look elsewhere.

Pros

Caring for complete people internally and world ecosystem. Focus on making lives better with purposeful impact worldwide. Changes happening as around the world but continue to see push to promote from within.

Cons

Many levels of processes, however after working at a company where the processes were bypassed causing further delays down the line. I see and understand the purpose.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
