      Overall, a great company to work for.

      Pros

      Mostly strong and well directed management aligned with company goals. Market leading healthcare products designed, built and marketed by well qualified people with a goal of making healthcare better, safer and more efficient.

      Cons

      Typical large company issues: Communication between depts, slow to adopt new tech to support employees (new CAD versions, computer HW, business mgmt tools, etc). HR is far removed from direct employee interaction, all done online, not effective. Also, a fast paced, sometimes high stress environment.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Low stress -Good work-life balance -No need to jump through hoops or wait a long time to get the equipment and software you need -Interesting work -Nice people -Full gym in the lower level -Nice perks/discounts offered on things like mobile phone, dsl, event tickets -pension plan offered

      Cons

      -Terrible office configuration (No kitchen on the first floor, 80s decor, tight space, cluttered) -Not much vacation/plt time. (All employees get 3 week no matter how many years they've been working. I had 6 weeks at the last job based on my years of experience. You have to be there 10 years to get an additional week) -takes 5 years to be 100% vested in 401K

      Pros

      People in general, great ethics (at certain levels), great products & brands

      Cons

      Losing its ethics for $. Senior Management don't walk the talk. Politics & the opinion of the one or two people can lead a direction that is not wholly compliant with the intended ethics of the business.
