Highly innovative company, but weak processes and high stress

Pros

The company creates revolutionary new therapies that saves lives and is #1 in its field of Structural Heart. Perhaps the best performing company in all of medtech.

Cons

Highly relationship based company culture. Your success is heavily dependent on your ability to build relationships, not just the quality of your work product. This is not bad in and of itself, but a huge degree is dependent on luck....did you happen to know the right people and was the project you were on visible and perceived as successful. Not very diverse. Hardly any minorities or women at senior levels, though its improving slowly.
