Pros
Beautiful campus, collaborative culture (sometimes to a fault), good benefits, decent pay, interesting products, great connection to good cause of serving patients.
Cons
Edwards has changed a lot in the last few years. A new CEO, a recent mass layoff, a 40% drop in stock price, a Business Unit sell-off, and 4 new startup acquisitions. That's a TON of change in just a few months. What used to feel like a cohesive, patient-forward company now feels more rife with politics, confused team boundaries, and a sense of anxiety for some employees who fear what change they should embrace next. Edwards is still a good company to work for, but the honeymoon seems interrupted for now at least. The company is technically not strong. Don't come here to challenge your engineering fundamentals. Worst of all: HR has been a HUGE letdown. Zero focus on developing managers. Yes, there are courses people can sign up for on their own, but when you hit difficult situations, you are on your own or worse, you may get poor advice. You better have a manager that watches out for you and coaches you, otherwise, there is no corporate culture of continuous improvement when it comes to leader performance training and coaching. The company "celebrates" diversity through a rich DEI program, but it still lacks diversity in its leadership tiers. Overall, you may get a decent paying job here, but you may not learn much if you stay here a long time.
