Pros

Visionary CEO who is approachable. Excellent, innovative, life-saving products. Many on-campus perks like Fitness Center and Cafeteria.

Cons

The culture (in Critical Care) is unpleasant. The leadership bullies and belittles the staff, teams, and employees. They have driven numerous 'top talent' people to other Business Units or out of the company. The leaders recently celebrated average employee engagement survey results because they "were not as bad as expected". I have never encountered such an unprofessional or uninspiring leadership in my 20 year career. Despite recent attempts to elevate the importance of diversity, the company is still severely lacking in ethnic diversity at leadership positions and encouragement of dissenting perspectives. This is particularly true within Critical Care. The parking situation is challenging.
