Pros

Great people at the staff level and great products that really help surgeons and patients.

Cons

As the company goes through major changes (Emerging Markets expansion, including R&D job transfers, plus the looming merger with Medtronics) much uncertainty about the future has resulted among the rank and file.

Pros

I see none, the company was sold after so much work and changes embraced by competent workers. Management is all about shareholders, I guess that is the way it works today. Good for investors that's the pros.

Cons

Long hours no work life balance. Management shows no appreciation.

Pros

I enjoy working with most of the people. There are training programs for personal growth.

Cons

Goal setting lacks reality. Communicate strategies for the divisions.
