Pros

Great benefits package and fantastic people that genuinely want to help each other succeed

Cons

Like most big companies, demands from corporate level are challenging. The requirements are funneled down to the manufacturing plants and they are challenging to achieve.

EDI in the UK is poor

Pros

Making products that save lives

Cons

Diversity is weak, Management representation who from the gay, non-white, disability, or who are single parents from low income families are practically non existent. There is a huge disparity in terms of this representation in the UK versus US. Colleagues are frightened to speak up in case they loose their jobs. Its a toxic company with senior management that seem to endorse bad behaviour ie bullying. Too much lip service and tick boxes.

Pros

Great benefits, pay and decent place to work

Cons

Can be very monotonous. You won't really see change. Everything moves very slow in the organization. Like any other big company.
