Pros

Smart people are not allowed to truly reach their potential and a company that has all the potential in the world but constantly gets in the way of itself.

Cons

Netherlands based company trying to operate in the United States. Medical equipment vendor who cannot sell strategic solutions. Their hiring process and HR is one of the worst I have encountered in the industry. Strictly marketing customer success stories your here over and over again. Managers that are not leaders and they spend to much time on busy work and not selling their solutions.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
