A great place to work

Pros

Great co-workers, nice facilities and great access to technology.

Cons

There is lip service paid to diversity, but some departments fall very short of having any such thing. Women are generally not promoted at the same rate as men even with the same accomplishments.

Drove out the Sr HR VP

Pros

Saving lives, prolonging lives, always a great mission and this company makes a ton of dough.

Cons

Sr HR VP just left the company. Not sure what happened in this situation, but she was trying to make some necessary changes. She was intensely disliked, as an outsider, she challenged the status quo. Long-time staff and the good old girls/boys club will do anything to maintain status quo to keep their checks coming. Infrastructure is so bloated with VP's and Directors, I'm not sure how anyone is going to make necessary changes. Cult-like atmosphere and the mantra is stay below the radar, or you'll end up out the door.

Pros

Great benefits and respect for families. Onsite cafeteria, above average vacation. Superior 401k variable match program.

Cons

Sparse opportunities for non-club members. Don't get comfortable in your position. You will have to actively manage your career if you want to advance. Very top heavy at the management and tenured employee level.
