Great mission...you are making a difference

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid mission with great overall benefits package in a global multi-business unit organization that offers growth in a fast paced environment. A large number of the managers did not start in leadership roles.

Cons

The organizational structure is matrixed resulting in solid line, dotted line relationships that are not always effectively managed. Top/down communication is not stellar. Technology is slow moving for an organization of this size. Multiple reductions/outsourcing with more to come based on performance (the focus of the cuts not merit based)

Asleep at the Wheel

Business Outlook

Pros

Changing diabetic's lives by providing life improving therapies. Pride in the technologies that the company has introduced into the industry and the research it conducts.

Cons

Senior leadership, mainly our Diabetes President, are ill-equipped to manage organization. Essentially, our President is asleep at the wheel half the time, the other half she is somewhere else doing something except her job. No vision and no commitment to anything other than saving her own job and making the organization look good on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

Pros

Pay was very good. Very employee friendly. Benefits were outstanding. Onsite fitness center a plus. Onsite cafeteria was wonderful. Parking garage was nice attraction.

Cons

A lot of corporate politics and red tape. Leadership was slow to make decisions and changed their minds often. Economy has impacted sales which impacts bonuses.
