Pros

Pay is ok, but not matched with competitors like S&N or Medtronic. They'll tell you it is, but it isn't. The 401k benefits are great, health insurance is ok. There are some great teams and people there.

Cons

The career opportunities are terrible. Any ask for promotion is met with vague answers. They have a goal and career growth system, but no one truly uses it. They restructure multiple times a year and cut headcount at least once a year when they realize they aren't hitting numbers.
