Pros

Great pay and benefits, lots of opportunity to grow, learn and contribute... probably largely due to the leadership in my specific department.

Cons

Purchased by Medtronic in January 2015, so changes will be coming.

Pros

Talented people, current technology, opportunities to learn new things. Company was intentional about developing talent, if you could get into one of the cross-functional development programs.

Cons

Work/life balance varied widely from group to group. The company was consistently profitable, but upper management sold them out to Medtronic and collected multi-million-dollar bonuses for themselves.
