Great people, horribly managed. - Anonymous employee KARL STORZ Employee Review

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
