Great colleagues, but management only care about themselves.

Pros

Company offers a great product. Colleagues below management level are great to work with. However, the current situation of being understaffed also leads to tense situations.

Cons

You are expected to do overtime frequently without any kind of compensation. Incompetent manager, with absolutely no knowledge of the business, who only seeks for mistakes of direct reports.Manager being kept in position, even after multiple complaints from different employees. HR is absolutely not open to discussion. Turnover of staff is very high in several different departments below management level.

Pros

Though at times work can be like drinking water from a fire hose here at Intuitive Surgical, there is a strong culture of friendly and capable people at all levels of the company. Training is offered, and overall there is culture driven with a high energy level toward positive growth as well. When employees get to bring their kids with them to work "to see the robots", it's exciting for everyone! Finally, management is capable, approachable, and responsible.

Cons

Work-life balance may be challenging, there is always too much to get done at once, and there might not be as many perks to match as seen with other innovative firms in Silicon Valley (no gym). The company is undergoing growing pains. Cubicles may leave people less able to interact with others at times.

Pros

I love the excitement that goes on here. The people are terrifically fun, and hang out outside of work too. We go swimming together, biking, boating, exercising, dancing. I think our product is amazing, and I really like how my manager is to work with. He's extremely fair to me, and effusive in his praise.

Cons

There's a lot of work, and people work really hard. It feels like a start-up that never grew up. I wonder how much I'll like that in a few years. The other thing that bugs me is that in other groups there's a layer of middle management that I feel just goes along with the exec management. Fortunately, I don't have to put up with that BS!
