Pros

Large company, setting up my own team, recruiting some excellent engineers. Technical Training delivery was excellent. In the management eyes, we were the best thing since sliced bread.

Cons

Service Workshop being run as a production line. Minimum target of units required repaired per day, if the engineer didn’t meet daily targets, they were held accountable. Some faults on infusion pumps were problematic and took longer to diagnose, so you could easily be behind your daily target due to fault finding and testing. I was also part of the production daily output, but also had to manage a team, go to meeting after meeting after meeting, create strategies etc. I was also held accountable for lack of output and had to justify as to why I didn’t meet daily target. I found that management were difficult to approach and wanted to hear ‘Yes’ to the impossible. Long hours. Overall the ‘BD’ experience was extremely disappointing and it’s not a company I would want to work for again.

Pros

Your getting a decent paycheck

Cons

I went there with the best intentions but when I got there all they seem to do is bounce me around and set me up for failure, although this is the second medical manufacturing company I've worked for and it seems to be something with the industry
