Pros

Awesome campus, great pay, great product

Cons

Every place has politics but this place is built on it. A "C" rated employee skates by for years due to relationships while an "A" rated employee gets disregarded or shoved off. Absolutely toxic and stressful environment with constant change and uncertainty.

Such a shame but beware, not what it used to be, a company that has lost its soul.

Pros

Great place to work initially but over 10 years many changes that eroded the reasons for staying. Stock options and RSUs very nice. Benefits competitive External reputation still good; for now. Nice campus but parking a constant problem.

Cons

Critical Care corporate leadership is woeful. No collaboration, no listening, only demands and ridiculous head-in-sand, one size fits all strategies. Unrealistic, unreasonable and arrogant. All divisions are now verging on exploiting their customers because of the corporation's greed. European office in Nyon is a viper pit with many sitting in well paid ivory towers. Jobs for the boys mentality. Lots of words spoken; Credo, Secret Sauce etc but they are just that, words. Rarely backed up with actions.
