Fast paced, purposeful culture, long-term view

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Majority of leadership has a longer term, realistic view of the environment - more so than other silicon valley companies I've been at (high tech hardware/software/cap equip). Very purposeful with bringing in new talent that fits into the culture. Aware of the pitfalls of being a successful company and actively manages to mitigate.

Cons

Pace is very fast and always increasing. Some people find it difficult to achieve effective work-life balance. Still some silo'd thinking, and as the company continues to grow and get more complex, this will be a challenge

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

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.
