Pros

Amazing products; smart, caring people at the director level and below, the best vision benefits of any company in San Diego, the opportunity to really make a difference.

Cons

Strategy unclear, 3 presidents in 3 years, so no clear plan to win can be developed and implemented, lack of trust at the senior management level - the senior leaders don't work well as a unit and they don't solicit input from those that could provide actionable insight, employee morale is at an all time low and HR doesn't address the adverse impact this has to the bottom line.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
