Business Outlook

Pros

The company is definitely focused on its mission to improve the lives of patients through innovative medical products. The work-life balance is manageable across most functions and the compensation is competitive.

Cons

The entire organization is a maze of direct and dotted line VP's. Whether you work in US or OUS, you have a GM, Functional VP, and Country VP to satisfy. This structure leads to a large amount of conflicting requests.
