Pros

Employees are part of the companies mission and the company does a good job of making employees feel included. It is a huge corporation with nice people and opportunity. knowing that you play the role in patients around the world with the medical technology is fulfilling.

Cons

As I stated in the Pros, the company is huge, but it is a con also as it causes issues when trying to navigate your professional career. HR is always busy and does not want to be bothered with helping employees develop. The company claims to be a strong advocate of developing employees yet you will not even be considered for interviews if you do not have extensive experience in the area of the position for which you are applying. Open job postings are listed to meet a requirement but a great deal of them are filled before they are even posted. Compensation is much lower than other companies in some areas.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
