Pros

If you work hard and apply yourself, you can build a career.

Cons

New hires tend to be paid more than experienced staff who have the same job title (salaried non-exempt), so moving up the ladder is critical to making decent money.

Pros

Medical devices is an interesting industry; compensation is good, strong financial performance; great products.

Cons

Toxic work environment where only certain highly-valued employees will advance; opinions of others are not valued or desired. If you don't fit "the mold" eventually you will be made to want to leave. People get ahead by making sure others look bad and other highly-political moves. The organizational dysfunction is the worst I have ever seen. Somehow out of this great products are born.
