Not for everyone, be careful

Pros

Salary, flexibility to work anywhere , people within your team and also other coworkers sometimes have better solutions to problems and understand poor management, so they offer advice and support - the advice I was given was to leave the toxic management and environment.

Cons

No formal training is provided, dull team environment with poor management. Some people will hover over you and complain on how much they hate working here. Very negative and toxic place to work. Not many friendly people, awful handover, upper management are weak performers that do not fully understand how to lead a team (which is why so many talented people leave) .

Pros

Decent benefits, some dedicated and excellent people, some projects can be exciting to work for.

Cons

Horrible culture. Managers have no clue on how to manage and create many imbalances and unfair standards and practices. Employees judged by different standards depending on favoritism and which group you work for. Back stabbing dishonest managers with no repercussions for horrible behavior. Highly unprofessional behavior and treatment of employees. Legacy good ole boys club atmosphere, new talent not appreciated, new ideas asked for but frowned upon, lots of "this is how we've always done it attitude." Talks about innovation but stifles it and doesn't reward risk taking. Has very obvious morale issues and only pays lip service to it, brushes problems under the rug instead of seeking ways to fix problems and move forward.

Pros

Interesting products so you can get good experience of selling high value low volume products. You genuinely feel you can make a positive difference to patients lives. Plus the best guys on the ground I have ever worked with.

Cons

Management are clueless. They manage by fear, blame, buck passing. Way to many middle managers, I have never worked in a company where there are so many managers that appear to do nothing. The worst thing about the company is the way they treat employees who offer an opinion when they are asked for open and honest feedback by mgmt. I agree with a previous reviewer, the 2 days extra holiday if you scored the annual survey higher really sat uncomfortably with me
