Pros

Great benefits with above average vacation time. Friendly coworkers. Commonly holds events to give back to community. Company works hard to try and maintain life/work balance whenever possible.

Cons

Some silo effects going on between company departments. No clear direction on career path in many cases can make growing with company difficult. Changes are occurring to try and drive company goals through the company, but this will take time

Pros

The company does actually believe in it's core values - especially improving the quality of human lives through charity. Mrs Storz donates several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of endoscopic devices to hospitals and health facilities in third world and poor countries, often times to support women and children's health. I believe they really care about employees as people - something very hard to find these days.

Cons

Silos. So many acquisitions have resulted in divisions of the company acting and operating like seperate businesses - often with conflicting priorities. This causes a great deal of frustration among employees and leaders, are quickly exhuasted at the pace - which is often a result of the "this is top priority, hurry up, do it now..." direction from above that never seems to end and burns people out. The ownership is slow to accept change in the areas of general business in the areas of technology
