I love what I do BUT it’s not all sunshine and rainbows
Pros
1. The Product. The technology is second to none, the solutions are amazing and it’s very exciting. 2. Feild Resources. There are great resources in the ways of events, trainings, and materials to help you out and your customers 3. Education. It’s very tough but if you have the commitment you will learn a whole lot about healthcare extremely fast. 4. Customers. The relationship with the customers is very positive. Surgeons and staff treat you like one of their own. Very Positive. 5. Logistics. Because intuitive is one of those few companies that manufacture in the americas, there isn’t supply chain issues that many other medical companies have. 5. The Selling Experience. Because of most of above it makes the sell more about working with customers on how to deploy the technology effectively. It’s a kind of sell that’s rewarding. 6. Company. The Larger company is amazing! I’ve met almost every major stakeholder in the company and they’re so great! The other teams communicate well and work diligently to help you and vice Versa.
Cons
Hours - you will be quickly overworked. I consistently work 12-15 hours a day and sometimes weekends. Pay - It’s alight for a 40 hour work week but for a 60 hour work week it isn’t great. Team & Manager - There’s great people at the company but my direct team are strangers I barely speak with except to execute their business needs. Inconsistent messaging - While you get pulled in many directions your development program expects you to deliver on tasks that aren’t correlating to tasks your direct manager asks of you. Lots and Lots of Stress - I like this company, but there’s a lot of stress that comes with it and the items I’ve mentioned above add to it. So you really need to know why your committed beyond money and Freedom to keep you here.
