Pros

You have the ability to work with different groups of people from operators to executive staff. They are trying to make changes to standardize processes across business units.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure to meet deadlines with a lack of direction from management. It doesn't matter how you get the task done, just get it done.

The pay is very competitive, benefits are competitive, the work is interesting, the people are very helpful and the culture promotes health and well being.

Covidien is in the process of being acquired so the moral is down for some individuals at headquarters.
