Pros

Good work life balance company. Nice people to work with. Encouraged personal and professional growth.

Cons

A lot of upper management making decisions in a silo. Many managers would just live off the fat of the land thus causing other not to be able to be utilized to their full potential.

Pros

Big firm with multiple product lines and have many sites in different nations. US Surgical is a good company. Payment is good.

Cons

Quality of corporate management team is surprisingly low; really not sure how these people get the positions. Soon or later they will be out of offices.

Pros

The products that Covidien produces are fantastic. The level of detail and commitment to quality rival anyone in the industry.

Cons

The company is completely politically driven. You always need to keep a watch out to see who is trying to use you as a step on their ladder to success. Political cronies and operatives are rewarded while hard workers are punished.
