Pros

The mission to alleviate pain, restore health and extend life is very important to the company and it shows. The company has some of the best engineers to work with that are very insightful and creative. They are also amazing teachers. Benefits are very good. Salaries are good but bonuses are subject to several factors

Cons

Excessive focus on diversity vs. talent that meets job description, HR will put a stack of "candidates" on your desk to "review." If you do not have a budget for relocation, they will find a way for DEI candidates. Big focus on "building your personal brand" -it sounds odd because it is. Many people want to focus on their job responsibilities. 360 feedback rewards people who complain (snitching exercises)

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
