Pros

Really good people. Very focused younger generation. Operations group is a very good place to work, if you are ready to give up on your work-life balance.

Cons

Principle engineers in the Catheter R&D group are not competent. Middle Management is filled with "YES BOSS" kind of people. Nobody questions the decisions of senior management. Projects get cancelled after investing so much time and effort into it. Lot of politics and bureaucracy.
