Toxic Wasteland of Dinosaurs and One-upsmanship

Senior technical writer

Business Outlook

Pros

Was able to work remotely until the "situation with COVID improves."

Cons

Terrible health insurance, no PTO, no paid holidays, no bereavement time, and upper-management is extremely old-fashioned and tends to hire their personal friends and family as opposed to experience, talent, etc.. Company is run by MBAs. They do not care about your personal life or privacy. They treat people like disposable items. If you're not one of the long-term employees, then don't waste your time here. Go work somewhere where you will be appreciated and can grow. I noticed hate speech directed towards LGBTQ+ people posted to internal webpages by executive directors and higher ups during the George Floyd protests and Pride month.

Demanding and No Life Balance

Pros

Top medical equipment company. Uses the latest technology and creates customer driven products.

Cons

I was fooled by all of the positive reviews, but maybe that just depends on the location. Diabetes Care in Northridge demands a lot from it employees. Be ready to work more than 8 hours a day everyday and expect last minute requests from management on a regular basis. The staff tries their best, but management seems to care more about daily stats on a project. Not recommended if you want a job that focuses on research and development instead of having to answer to management regularly. I would rate the company 1 star based on the management, but I gave it 2 stars because the employees are team players.
