Pros

Very successful company creating, manufacturing, and selling an innovative product which is the only of its kind and lends to an exciting atmosphere. People, floggers and buyers alike are in varying degrees of awe of this product. Most people I have come across are good, intelligent, friendly, and/or funny.

Cons

The people can be quite smug about working here and maybe rightfully so given the criteria of potential employees and the ardent interview process. Also, the atmosphere can be a bit too intense. As once overheard, "the [HQ] can be the black hole for fun". I'm not sure levity has ever been witnessed here.

Pros

Amazingly interesting product that is able to help people in such a positive way and that is a great feeling. Stock options so long as the stock is low.

Cons

Not a collaborative team environment, people throw each other under the bus all the time and claim credit for work that they do not perform. It's also a very sterile environment where people do not really interface which creates a depressing environment. There is no work/life balance, expect to work 70+ hrs and weekends. Also do not trust HR, there is no such thing as anonymous at this company. This is a boys club environment and anyone that speaks up for concern of cutting corners affecting quality or any other HR issues will be pushed out of the company.

Pros

At Intuitive you will never feel like you are working on products that are not the most cutting edge in the medical device industry. Individual performance is always showcased and internal politics are nonexistent.

Cons

Intuitive Surgical's fast paced culture causes them to spread shared resources thin. People will shift projects weekly to support whatever project is the "hot" project of the week or month. Some people complain about a tough work/life balance.
