Pros

Great Pay Great Benefits Great Location/Buildings Generally Nice People Rewarding Work

Cons

HR controls all aspects of career opportunities. If you are an internal employee applying for a position, you will not get the same salary if you were applying as an external candidate. Almost at a disadvantage if you are internal. Too many high level positions, not enough junior/intermediate.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good product pipeline, respected in MS specialty area, Above average salary and benefits, good reward program and work / life balance for Sales Reps

Cons

Too much change in Leadership team. Some directors are not honest and truthful as per the credo of the company and will lie to protect themselves. No support to help whistle blowers who are dedicated to the company's values. No respect for opinions of long standing employees. A bad egg in a powerful position can destroy the career of loyal and trusting employees and it seems that no one cares.
