Intuitive reviews

Everything else about working for Intuitive is miserable. Leadership is incompetent and so dysfunctional with an openly-embraced lack of diversity. Sexism and harassment is prolific and built into promotional and hiring processes. The work environment is much like a cult, where you cannot express any different opinion to the leaders and if you do, expect to be shunned, targeted, and bullied. You will be expected to give 100% of yourself to the job with nothing left for anyone or anything else in your life. Aggressive and arrogant white men, who lie and steal credit for accomplishments to promote themselves and other men dominate the director and VP levels and protect each other. If you are asked to share your opinion on how things can improve, beware, it's just a tactic to determine who needs to be weeded out or isolated. There are so many other companies with better opportunities, it's not worth the stress and psychological torture at Intuitive. Competition is coming, and I will be jumping ship as soon as I can. There are many others feeling the same way, so any new employees will immediately find they are drowning in work that high-performers who left were already overwhelmed with and leadership is so incompetent and uninspiring most of them cant even actually do the job they are leading, which is why you will get ZERO useful development from your leader. You'll be on your own.

The company is filled to the brim with redundant middle management. Honestly, it's exhausting watching managers play politics, trying to one up each other for their next promotion. Do individual contributors get rewarded well for pushing ourselves to our limits to hit deadlines? Absolutely NOT. The main people who benefit are managers and directors. There are ladders that keep leading to rewards and riches above while individual contributors slave away. Cross-functional teams are atrocious to work with because everyone thinks you're invading into their territory. They will scheme against you and try to protect their precious projects, take forever to complete new features, and drag things along because they have an ear to upper leadership. The compensation is horrible compared to other tech companies. As the company grows larger.. the number of shares split amongst employees will be reduced to nothing. Nepotism is huge here. If you're a relative or a friend of someone high ranking in the company, expect to get that next director position regardless of your experience.
